Did they ever make or plan for a hard top version instead of the canvas top or make any other variants on a 6x6 chassis ?

The prototype C60X with the Chrysler 8-cylinder engine had a # 13 Cab hard top. There was also probably at least one Ford 6-wheeler with the Lincoln Zephyr V-12, but that would have been a F60H. Ford did offer a 'F60X' but I am certain that none were ever built as the prototype 'General Motors' C60X was ordered and proceeded-with into production of course with the imported GMC 270.

Sounds like you want to build one...and what a magnificent thing it would be too...

I think by the time it was built the SWB Canadian gun tractors had been redesigned to canvas roofs following the British lead with the later Morris-Comical - sorry- Commercial types.

Here's an interesting Experimental 6X6 Artillery Tractor - read Roger Lucy's article on MilArt:

I'm currently building a model of the CMP 6x6 FAT and I'm wondering if this is a bulkhead or stiffener. Thanks in advance.

Hi Boys
The 6x6 rear seat seems to be folding like 4x4 FGT
Why are they folding? Add cargo space?

Being that the 6x6 was an experimental version it could just be they used off the shelf items to fit out the truck.
