Thanks everyone for your input, I phoned the farmer today to give him an update and check up on a few C60L related things. He said I sounded like a kid in a toy shop.
The only photo he has of the truck with the wooden body on it was taken too far away to make out any details. The truck is in a paddock being loaded with bagged wheat. They were one of the first farms to change to bulk in our area, and that is when they dumped the wooden body for a hydraulic steel body made by another local farmer/engineer.
He does have a few photos of the truck when he shifted his house not once but twice, and I mean the whole house, on a couple of dollies he made himself. He is going to get some copies of the photos made for me.

Tony I would be 100% sure our trucks were kept together some time in their lives. Looks like yours lasted longer than mine in service. I have taken a photo of the 4004 it looks like 1004 but you can just make out the pointy side bit of the 4 if you look carefully .

Keith and Mike thanks for your input, your enthusiasm and sharing your knowledge.

Hanno that was an interesting chronology of events and probably close to the facts, the farmer wrote out a similar A4 page list of the trucks civilian history.
