CMP in an unusual place
This goes to show they seem to be in most corners of the globe...
I had an email from Christo Loubser in Namibia who is seeking information about how to rebuild this F60L (or F60S - hard to tell from the angle) which belonged to his grandfather.  Looks like he has a very good start with a rust free and straight cab. Missing the bumper though. More.

F60S or F60L
G'day Chris,
Welcome to the Forum. Firstly, from the photos, it looks like an F60S, but a measurement of the wheel base will tell you. F60S is 134 inches and F60L, 158 inches. Buy or acquire a manual for your truck. They are plentyful out there for not much money. Without a manual, your you'll be pushing hard to get things right. Good luck and as I said "Welcome to the Forum". Regards Rick

Wheelbase
If you're still in doubt, the 'S' version has a single piece tailshaft and the 'L' a two piece one.
Good to see you've joined us on MLU.
