next LWD project (was: Spare wheel & carrier of the Fox)

Stefan,

sorry for the late reaction.

A few weeks ago I had a chat with Dirk about the available information on the F60H, when I was at LWD-parts for the first time.
Sadly I don't have too much info. The only picture I have ever seen of the cab 11 Ford F60H Wrecker is the one from Bart VanderVeen's collection. All other F60H wrecker info I have found is of the cab13. Although there are a lot of symmilarities between both, the section between the rear body and cabin seems to be different. Dirk pointed out that the wrecking gear on the cab11 version is of the early type, without the "legs" on the side, something I hadn't realized before.

If you ask me the body of the C60S 4x4 wrecker is a lot different. The rear corners on the 4x4 body are angled and also the angle of the body-sides are at a different angle. There is however a 4x4 wrecker that seems to have the exact same body as the F60H. The Wheels and Tracks article on CMP wreckers designates this as a "type 4" wrecker. (The pictures are below). One of them even looks like a vehicle in Dutch service.

I will copy/scan all the info I have of the F60H wrecker for you. Don't get too excited because you have probably seen most (if not all) of the info before. I hope to get a chance to visit Schoorl this weekend. If I do I will take the info with me.

regards,

Alex
