Hanno,
we have a F60L with wooden body. It is not the type with drop sides, it has the same steel construction like the all-steel ones, but the plates are not made from sheet metal, but wood. What do you think about it? Lookiong for some better pics.
BTW - I am going to pay the Drive to Victory today

Frankie,

That is a regular CMP body, but I do not know the number. It is a so-called composite body because it is made of steel and wood.

Here are some more pictures of this type of body:

Thank you again, Hanno, it seemed original to me, but I just wasn't sure.. Was it early or late one? e.g. US GMC was first all-steel, than all-wood to save steel and than a composite.. so I guess a late one?

Just found this number on the bell housing - I was looking for some answers overe here but found nothing. ("H1 - 15844")
Does it say something please?
Thanks.

No, these are just moulders marks, means nothing to us.
Engine No. is on the top flat surface for the intake manifold.

Thought so..

Dekuji / thanks!
