Question on CMP 3-Ton Break-down Lorry (Wrecker)

[Chris Preston]

All,

Very Many Thanks for your replies and the photos from John Corden - they're most helpful.

For John Corden - John could I take you up on your offer for more detailed photos of the rear frame and dimensions, etc?

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

Here is another photo of the rear of a C60s Wrecker. This in Hendrik's in the Netherlands. AS you can see it is the same as my set up.



Will take some detail photos of mine truck today for you.

Chris,

I have been looking through my photo collection and found that there appears to be two types of rear used on the Chev C60s Wreckers.

Below are a photos found on internet and you can see the two clear variations.

Both seem to show a set-up similar to yours.

Probably I'm not quite right but it looks to me that three of the quartet above are 4G2 bodies on SWB C60S and the one on the left below is body 5L1 on LWB F60L.

Thanks for the pictures John.

It does seems like both style of rear fairleads were used on wreckers..... I stand corrected.

Cheers
