RE the image:

I's an RAAF operated No.4 tipper in use with No.1 Airfield Construction Squadron (badge on the side says it all). 1ACS departed Moratai Island for Tarakan Island on 27 April 1945. Disbanded 30 November 1945. ACS's used a mix of CMP and HAR-1 based Tippers.

The CMP Aust No.4 versions had all steel trays. Earlier Aust versions were wood/steel construction (wood body, steel liner). The odd thing with this one is that it has single rear wheels, which was unusual on a No.4 tipper: Army operated No.4's almost invariably had dual rear wheels.

Default 1941 Ford F-60S Tipper with Wood Floor

Hi Guys,

I'm late to this thread because I've been too busy shoveling snow and chipping ice here in central Ontario. I have a 1941 Cab 3 F-60S tipper with a wood floor. If you need pictures or dimensions, let me know. I plan on having it running in the April/May time frame at which point I can get the hoist going. Right now, it is stored inside the shop.
Cheers, Richard
