cab 12 roof

[Mike Cecil]

Tony,

The Ford F60S (cab 13) ARN 153403 was a 7 ton semi trailer prime mover. It is one of a mixed group of C60S and F60S trucks fitted with McGrath trailers. Most were disposed of as complete units (truck and trailer combined) in the early 1960s.

There are lots of Ford CMPs in this and later series, eg
152xxx has No.2 ambulances
153xxx has prime movers and fire tenders
159xxx has No.2 Ambulances
and the 16xxxx series, mostly in the lower series 160xxx to 162xxx, has derricks, recuperators, ambulances and tippers.

These later series of CMPs are almost invariably registrations of specialist vehicle types, rather than GS. I suspect because the special body types were slower into production - the design work, prototype stage, and so on, taking time to complete and be approved before production (and therefore delivery) commenced.

With regard to an F60S with chassis/engine 3G0209F, I have no records showing a 3G prefix engine number that low.
