It has the front fairlead too, can't tell about the rear. Commercial pattern instruments but that isn't a 100% on date. Looks to be F60S based on the 1 piece driveshaft (doesn't look as if it originally had a 2 piece, later replaced). Possibly one of the LAAT, Winch or Derrick bodies?

F60s
You lucky Canadians having something as good as that to buy.
I'd call it a 42 model based on the dash, front shell (with no Ford or Ford Canada) and no lifting flanges. Also likely to be a LAAT. Amazing to see the winch setup so complete.

my C60 had the complete winch with cover (about 1/8 0r 3/16 in thick)
. and both (correct late Chev) front and rear fairlead rollers Took a long time though to find those three itesm. RH is correct the winch cover is extremely rare , Ive seen several winches, but no covers. If you look closely you can see where it once had a round hatch. Looks like a nice unit to start a resto from.. wonder how it ended up in Nebraska...ah if only these things could talk.

same color
My truck was the same color and the hatch cover was the same too. Post war conversion by the same outfit I presume.

Swiss Blitz?
Hi Hanno
Well spotted, haven't noticed that. Indeed, could be a former Swiss Blitz. If you compare the position of the Horn and the interior (especially starter button left of the speedo) (source). More pics from Swiss Blitz's: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=11500 Greetings Chris

Didn't see it before the auction ended.
Just sent the seller an email asking if it's still for sale. It's extremely tempting at $1,900.00, although the seller has a reserve on the truck. My initial thoughts as are Kieth's is that it's an LAAT. It's only 600 miles away so shipping should only add another $1,500.00 or so. I'll keep y'all informed if I can work a deal on it.
CHEEMO!  Derek.
