Raiding
A classic border raid Rick!
And what a wonderful vehicle too. Am I right in saying the assumption it is a F30 is based on a single speed transfer case? Be interesting to see the engine number if it is the original. I'm sure some clever Canuck can tell you what body options there were. If you have the "Canada's Fighting Vehicles" book there's one on page 62: Lorry, 30-CWT GS with a welded steel 10' long body used without a spare tyre carrier.

Nice find Rick, Interesting that it's fitted with helper springs, but no sign of a winch or front and rear fairleads,(unless they have been removed) which I think rules out specialist bodies, like Derrick or LAAT. I reckon she may have been a GS bodied Ford.
Regards to both you and Jill Keith

The only thing rarer is an F30 cab 11 without the vents in the front.

Rick,
Great find and recovery! I think I have a picture of a suitable body somewhere, will look it up. Also have a look at http://davespages.ms11.net/cmpbody.html to see if you recognise any of the body's hardware. Regards, Hanno

Here's a suggestion, it is one of the early trucks pictured in Crete in 1941:

Those are all Australian bodies with high contrast photocopies from the DMV book so it wouldn't be one of those. The question is how it came to be here as it's a model from before Australian orders started. Best guess is it was brought back from the North African campaign along with all the C60L cab 12s we see here. It's definitely a rare thing in this country. Other examples of this type of thing are Mike Kelly's cab 11 C8, Howard Holgate's cab 12 F15 and Max Hedges C30 cab 11.

Looks like...
The cut down cab on the back of the C60L looks like a wireless sigs.

Thank you all for your interest.
Andrew and Keith W, it is a sigs van front on the back of the C60L. There are another 8/9 blitzes in variour stages of decay around the yard. I took a lot of photos for you Keith with numbers where possible. Cliff, I think this is more rare as it has the early lift rings on the front of the chassis and the chev diffs. Keith O, good to hear from you Keith. Hows Dan? Keith W. I'm sure it is a F30S as it is 134" WB and has small brakes on the front and it also has a 2 speed transfer-case. Hanno, it is a good find and is relatively unmolested. Need a dog-box set though. I did a walk around today and took some photos. Interesting to compare with my F60L cab12. there are so many differences. I'll upload a few photos. Regards Rick
