Hello Martin,
The body on that truck looks non-original to me. It seems to have drop-sides (hinged side boards), these were not found on WW2 CMP bodies. Still, it may be worthwhile to get that truck. Hanno

Thank you Hanno. Yes indeed. It is in working condition, the truck was just standing for the last 20 years in the barn. I already bought it. Will post some pictures later.
If it is trully the F60L was the original body all steel, or steel/wood construction? I think it shoul be worthy to replace it. Cheers!

Martin, congrats on buying the F60L!
Indeed it is always worthwhile to bring back a vehicle to it's wartime configuration. In this case I would first get it running properly so you can use and enjoy it. In the meantime you can look for a correct cargo body. I will check my sources, but I would advise you to buy the book Drive to Victory to have a look for yourself. H.

Another good tip. Thank you.
Yes, will bring the truck, examine its condition, will do the basic works + the road regsitration and later will replace the body. That is the plan. I will have some pictures on Wednesday.. really excited as I still don't know which model is it exactly or if any of the original Ford's factory plates has been preserved.

Just got back with the truck.. mechanically it seems to be a very solid truck. I have no doubts it is F60L now.. no dataplates were present. The body was replaced after the war - probably by Czechoslovakian firefighters, or the CZ Army, the original tow hook is missing and I have my doubts about the front bumper originality. Some bits from the cabin are missing, some has been replaced by the Czech truck components. I was surprised the rifle racks are still present. Well.. I am happy for the Ford, it'll need just some light TLC.

F60L Wooden Body
Hanno,
we have a F60L with wooden body. It is not the type with drop sides, it has the same steel construction like the all-steel ones, but the plates are not made from sheet metal, but wood. What do you think about it? Lookiong for some better pics. BTW - I am going to pay the Drive to Victory today  Frankie
