Default Ford 60T

Hello
My name is Zbyszko. I live in Poland, I am a new participant in this forum.
Last year I bought from a friend two cars Chevrolet C15 and Ford F60T. None of these cars do not have plates with numbers. Type Ford managed to establish by measuring the distance between the axles. At the moment I rebuild the cabin to Ford. I'm looking for the dimensions of the wooden frames that must be installed at the hatch in the roof. The second thing. Do all valves have extrusion for the cork from the radiator? The third issue. I do not have the original radiator. Some time ago I read in the forum about size, but I have not wrote. At the moment I can not find the subject. I ask for help in determining the amount of the radiator.
I am attaching pictures of my cabin.
Best regards
Zbyszko

Hi!
Dennis thank you for your kind words. I present additional pictures of my Ford. I finished rebuilding the chassis and suspension system. I very please for help from a type engine (year of production, power and other). I enclose photos of the head and the clutch housing. My Ford comes from Switzerland. His photos I found on the forums.

I send pictures of the progress of work on my Ford.
I would like to ask for help in finding approximate date of manufacture. Probably the serial number is 150 792.

Hi!
I thank you very much for the kind words.I am glad that You like my car. The project was not easy. There are very little information about Ford F60T. Now I am looking for semitrailer to the car. If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
For the reconstruction still waiting chassis cherolet c15. I write so because of the construction, I think that this is the CGT. Only that was type of cabin 13. Maybe it is a vehicle of the Danish army. I bought it in parts and there was no story. Can someone help me how do I check? I attach pictures.
Best regards
Zbyszko

You definitely have a CGT chassis there, cab 11 or 12 I think.

If those doors are correct then I would say its a 13 cab.

Hi!
I thank you for Your interest in the topic.
On the first door is number Z1924408.
On the second door You can see the type of camouflage "mickey mouse".
On the frame of the front left side of the welded plate is number 1844102813.
The strars are painted later. I bought this car with the cabin 13.
Best Regards
Zbyszko

Default chassis and power train

Zbyszko,

Not sure it is a chassis of a CGT.
When the chassis number 1844102813 is the correct one,it is standing
for a 1941 C30 (8441) with a wheelbase of 134".
The wheelbase of a CGT is 101".
A CGT also has a census number beginning with "CH or H" and not a "Z".

cheers

Default Chassis

Good points - but it's definitely a 101" chassis and therefore a CGT. Perhaps the identity plate was transferred for some reason.
I was wrong earlier about cab 11/12 - could be a 13 as well although as you point out the door markings should not start with "Z". Possibly the doors also came from another truck.

That's a lovely truck, Zbyszko. Well done! I like the colours you used and the camouflage scheme.

Regarding trailers.....I am not aware of any surviving original F60T trailers in Europe, but there are some pics on the forum of one or two surviving trailers in a scrapyard in Argentina.
There was/is an F60T in France with a trailer, but I don't think that's an original F60T trailer. I think the owner used a French, or maybe US, trailer and changed the looks a bit to make it look like an F60T trailer.

Alex
