The winch is more common on special purpose trucks such as the FAT, Winch, Derrick or Engineers bodies, but other GS trucks have shown up with winches that appear original.
alright thanks, I am fairly sure that its the same lenght as a normal c60l as there is one parked in front of it.
So It has just been a standart flat bed lorry fittet with winch. it was the M in the Vehicle model # C-60448-M-GS-11, that had me thinking that it might have been somthing like a machinery version.
the reason for the missing front bumper is that the owner is using it on his CGT.
We are thinking of modifying the rear, so that it can be used for sleeping in, with out changing the body on it.
