16" verses 20" Tires
Rob,
It would appear that the C-60L is outfitted with 16" tires. I can verify if needed. Richard

I have seen several other PE-197 contract trucks with 16" rims and the corresponding smaller axle ends on the front axle. I don't have documentary proof, but the proportion of that contract that I've seen with 16" wheels is high enough that I put it outside coincidence and into a probable defined feature. I can only speculate as to why 60 cwt should have 16" rims.
On other contracts, some 60 cwt ambulances were so equipped. Other possibilities - perhaps to conserve rubber, perhaps to make a common size tire for a particular group of trucks, perhaps to get a lower loading height, perhaps to allow a flat floor body when the 20" would have needed wheelhouses.

16'' rims
Grant / Rob,
I don't remember where i read this but Grant you are right , the Australian contract trucks did have rims for the 16'' tires. I have visited and ridden in this beautiful truck and it is a gem, a museum piece for sure but also a day to day driver.It is pristine. No relation whatsoever with the seller whom i know and is a really great guy. Grab it while you can.An opportunity like this passes once in a lifetime. I am into 15 cwt trucks. Just bought a second one.So this one is not for me.
