I'd suggest given it's chopped and plated history it may well be a shortened F60L, poor old thing.
Are there any surviving data plated on it?

No, there are no data plates remaining that we could find. Here are some photos of the underside. On turning it over you can see it is very modified and very damaged. It looks as though some of the spring stoppers and mounts have been bolted straight onto the plate on each side. The winch cross beam is the correct one, but either it has been put in as a modification or reinforced. Considering that there is a big hole cut in the other cross piece I'm guessing its the former. To be honest we haven't paid much attention to the cab 12 chassis as it is in this state, and we've been working on restoring one of the Cab13 f60L trucks, but the cab 12 truck lives on in the running gear of the project.

Yes, looks like it's had a winch kit or one from another vehicle. Trucks factory fitted with the winch (Talking about Fords here) had a double rear cross member and extra fish plates.

And the brackets where the the winch pillow blocks were mounted to were welded into the chassis rails, while Chevs were rivetted. Yours appears to have bolts.

Youre right
That is one ugly hatchet job on that chassis ![]()
