Default WK-60

I reminded myself that in the DND papers relating to the F60H, that Clive will know about, various 6 x 4 designs were discussed including Dodge, GMC, International K8F. In 1941 the F60H shortcomings were obvious and although Ford offered a Zpehyr V-12 powered F60H, and even 6 x 6 drive, the DND were not interested and looked to the US for supply. The Dodge WK-60 6 x 4 was considered and one pattern vehicle was supplied for testing. This of course had the Welles-Thornton rear bogie. Delivery was promised in five months of an order being placed.

As you know the GM C60X was chosen instead, but there is no evidence in the file that Chrysler of Canada offered a 6 x 6 chassis.

Clive, seems that the CNA index has a typo! Any chance you know what this file relates to please?
