Default What do you think of this trailer

Hi again,

Does this trailer have any meaning other than it's a chopped up cmp frame?

Looks to me like a post war fabrication for tar and gravel roofs.

There is a stamped steel plate tack welded to the top of the tank that says "WESTEEL-T"

Default Here's an under view

Would this axle have been from a F60 with duellys?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I don't think this is a Ford CMP axle or frame. It is probably off a Ford Commercial truck (amongst others it is could possibly be from an F-6 or F600 truck, but not an F60 CMP). The differential is centred on the axle, the CMP is offset to the right. The CMP has two holes drilled into the diff casting to mount the bracket for the shock absorbers, this diff doesn't. It's hard to make it out in the pic, but the pinion flange appears to be a Spicer type where the uni joint mounts directly to the flange (like a Jeep), the CMP had a flange where a driveshaft with it's own uni flange bolted on.
A side on pic showing the wheels and hubs would confirm it, the commercial hubs having 5 wheel studs.

Ok Tony thanks for that, heres a side view.

I assumed that the duellys had 5 bolt hubs for some reason.

Don't fret, this axle would be a good point to start your Australian LP2A Carrier build-up
