Free truck! CMP Ford F60 LAAT

Time to be sensible and deal with the higher priorities, so I am thinning out my 'collection', which means that my CMP Ford F60 LAAT truck will have to go. It requires complete restoration, but is pretty much all there, or enough to use as patterns. And I have a spare back body as well, again in need of work but usuable. Major missing parts that I can think of are the back of the cab and the cab roof, though I may be able to point you in the direction of one. Postwar Diesel engine of some sort.

All this, and it is entirely free too, to a good home! Located in Aberdeenshire. I don't have any pics at the moment but could probably get some next week. PM me with any questions. Someone must want one?!

[Neil Ashley]

Another nice vehicle here but only worth about one third of the £18,000 the owner is asking for in europe.

Never mind; thanks for bringing and old acquaintance to our attention again.
We have known GSV556 on this forum since 2001 . . . see C15A's for sale in Scotland (again).

We never did get to the bottom of why she has both high and low range and a winch, but they all work.

Not too expensive either at that price.

The mention of these untypical features (for a 15-cwt) triggered my memory, and hey presto - it was one of Hamish' trucks.

It sold for £3,850.00, sounds like a real good buy!

Did you provide the extra information?

Q: Not so much a question as a little extra info, as I was in this truck when we eased it out of it's garage at the Alloa Motor Company, and I helped get the age-related registration. At some time it had a crane fitted to the back and removed, but no sign of damage as that chassis is well oper-specified for a 15cwt truck. This is an original Chevrolet C15A truck, early 13 cab with civilian type instruments, and added winch plus Bedford 28HP engine, all the rest of it seemed solid and original as it hasn't spent much time outside. It belonged to a friend of mine who also had a C15A water tank truck, which is where the confusion might have crept in. The only other detail I remember is that he just used one fuel tank, as the other one was half-full of ancient fuel that had gone right off - all the metal was solid though. Good to see her looking well, hope she finds a good home. 22-Jul-09
A: thanks for that we found its maintance book from the garage in a cubby hole and yes it still only connected to one tank karl

[gordon]

I supplied the info.

That was cheap, not much more than Hamish sold it for.

It really deserves an original engine and a detailled restoration, but as long as it went to a good home...

Hi Dave,

Welcome to this forum. The body on that C60S is not a military body, at least not one which was fitted to CMP trucks when they were manufactured.

HTH,
Hanno

Hi Dave,

If that truck´s chassis & cab have been restored, engine & drivetrain overhauled, it certainly is worth 2K. Not if has only been blown over with a paint gun.

A body can be found with some effort or reproduced, there are plenty reference pictures and surviving examples to take measurements from.

Let us know if you are going to get it, I´m sure we can help you find the information you need.
