For the record, out of the 4 or so diff sets we've accumulated, only one had the large steering (which we're now using), but the wreck it came off had the small steering box and therefore different ball sizes, hence our current setup being a bit of a custom job. This F60 we're working on had the smaller steering when we got it, as did our other F60 wreck. Saying that, these trucks were modified into tow trucks/cranes whilst in timber country, whether they swapped the diffs during this time, who knows...

Pics......
Will do some digging Keith and post pictures..... from what I could see they were built for Australia but never made it......
I have one of those frames at the barn.....a guy in Montreal has one fully restored.... a few in the Bellville area...... a few in Orangeville ... a few in Sault Ste Marie... ... but all are from the same Aussie contract and built within a few eeks of one another in and around August / September 1945 and obviously never shipped........ and with and w/o roof hatches and early and late instruments clusters...... In the AEDB engineering manuals there are records of such 16 inch CMP trucks being built as troup carriers and for ambulances....all long wheel base..... Will put a package together an post for you..... Boob
