Tipper
Therein lies the problem... he has a rusty tipper body (not sure about the hoist) and a different F60S which was not a tipper. He had an ARN from the F60S, 57006 which was also marked "AIF L". I happened to have photographed that page from the AWM 126 series of ledgers and it was listed as a "truck, KTN", and disposed of back to FMC.
So if he has the steel body it won't be the first type, and I think the 4th type was on a Chevrolet chassis.

He's got a more interesting truck, though, a Kitchen! A GS base body decked out with cooking kit.
All steel tipper body was the No.4. I'll check the hoist type and get back to you.... Mike C

Kitchen
Yes I thought that was what it stood for. Interesting how the F60S (and indeed C60S) were mostly used in specialist roles here.
It would be a challenging task to find a body to suit I'd think.

Keith,
His other 'problem' is the wheels: if he intends to build a tipper, the all-steel bodied No.4 had 8.25x20 all round, duals at rear, so he'd have to find a set of wheels and spacers as well: might be easier to locate/build an all-steel GS body! The wheels were Australian manufacture and quite specific to the vehicle type. But a Kitchen ..... now that would be unique! Mike C

Keith,
The tipper hoists were: Ford Nos 1 & 2: fitted with Olding or Malcolm Moore hoists. Ford No.3 (also a steel bodied tipper) fitted with G-Well hoist, Chev No.4 fitted with Trojan hoist. Each one had a unique chassis mounting and cab control set-up. So I suppose he's looking for a G-Well hoist to go with his all-steel tipper body on a Ford chassis..... but I still like the idea of a Kitchen better!! Mike C

Kitchen or tipper
I like the idea of that too... but will pass on the details to him.
Thanks for the research!

my C60S tipper
My Chev C60S 2 1/2 CU YDS Tipper No#4 has a GMH "Commercial Body'' mounted to it, not sure about the hoist within the chassis.
It was made in 4-4-45 Aust M (Melbourne?) It has 20" split rims on the rear and the offset rims on the front with spacers, the previous owner also produced a few spare 20"rims when I bought it.
