Ford 11/12 cab for sale (Aust.)

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

G'day Keith! S/M 2037 included three-ton 4x2 Fords, and also C60L and CC60L, so I guess that they were FC60L. There was a suggestion that the Chassis & Cab were supplied under S/M 2019, and then assembled in Dagenham under S/M 2037, and local contract 294/VS/4784, as EC018Q. However I think now that they were a run-on contract (Demand) for S/M 2019 then 2037 (2019 assembled under MofS contract 294/V/4288). Examples known of S/M 2037 F60L: Serial # 16869; Motor 2G47579F with "S/M OR C/D 2037" on the plate and Serial 16347; Motor 2G47755F; "S/M OR; C/D 2037". These, and the one mentioned, were all October 1941-built engines by the way (just checked!).

As to S/M 2126, this was a direct-Aussie delivery it seems. My notes say:
