What's this?
Going through some old pics I came across this one on a F60L. I was wondering whether someone can tell me whether this is fabricated or the cab roof from a Canadian gun tractor. The lower part looks to be a late production Australian version with door fillets for the canvas doors.
 Interestingly it also has (incomplete) Canadian rear fairleads.

could the front roof section be from an Australian #9 GunTractor or Signals van cut off at the upstep in the roof?

Hey Keith, I think you may be on the right track. Chassie is Ford, windscreen frames Chev & fair leads Canadian.
Is it the same?

Very unusual truck though Keith. It is amazing just what modifications some of these trucks have had over the years but more amazing is wondering where the rest of the original vehicles whose parts were used are located now.

The rear face of the cab "roof" looks like the base of the cab back and roof where it joins to the lower part of the cab back. It seems possible that someone wanted an open back for their cab (to see/access whatever deck or winch they had mounted) and took part of what was now the surplus upper cab back and joined it to the roof, reasoning that the angle iron would do a great job of stiffening the cab roof. There looks to be a crosswise joint on the roof at about the point where this theory would suggest.

Sure looks like a FAT cab to me. Here's a picture of a similarly chopped down one. It has since been turned back into a FAT. Hanno
