Ford-based lime spreader
The attached picture shows an original Census number showing through as I stripped the paint off a CMP 13 Cab door.
However the cab was on a LIME SPREADER used by an agricultural contractor for 20 years. The chassis is a F60S 101 1/4". w/base. Square roof hatch model, Welded front radiator cross bar where bonnet sits.This was hacked through when the FORD 4D diesel was stolen way back in the Sixties. I guess it dates it at 1942/43 build. NOTE the cab pics as found show early cab crash bar mounted behind front Bumper / Fender Although the chassis had front winch fair leads the chassis frame only had a heavy steel spacer bar between the chassis rails. I believe that the builder of the Lime spreader had BUILT the cab onto an EX Gun tractor chassis. and used various parts of other broken/ dismantled vehicles. So even if the number was fully readable I could not be certain that this door and this number came off the same chassis.The metal contract plates are missing. Can any one point out where i might find the CHASSIS number on this chassis frame, which sits waiting a rebuild in a friends barn. stephen |

As the wheelbase is 101-1/4 inch, and the chassis has fairleads, this is indeed most likely an ex-FGT chassis. The F60S had a 134" wheelbase. Sorry, I have no info on where to find the chassis number. Regards, Hanno P.S. I have moved this to a separate thread to increase the chances of people finding it.

Chassis number
Try on the top rail of the chassis near the engine mount cross member on the right-hand side as in this example:
