Heads Up: Clearing sale, fair bit of blitz stuff.

Keith, it did only have the small knuckles on the front diff, the same as F15A. Only guessing the Fords are the same as Chev in this regard ie small knuckles on 15, 30 cwt?????

The 6" steering ends only came into production well after this one was built. If you have a look at any early 1942 build F60L you'll see small steering ends and the lighter steering box. The small steering ends were retained on F15As and possibly F30s.

I'll look up the pictures I have of a late F60 with light steering ends and 16" wheels. IIRC, these "light" 3-tonners chassis were built for Ambulances and other Lindsay House Type bodies.
