Ford 60T

Zbyszko,

Not sure it is a chassis of a CGT.
When the chassis number 1844102813 is the correct one,it is standing
for a 1941 C30 (8441) with a wheelbase of 134".
The wheelbase of a CGT is 101".
A CGT also has a census number beginning with "CH or H" and not a "Z".

cheers

Good points - but it's definitely a 101" chassis and therefore a CGT. Perhaps the identity plate was transferred for some reason.
I was wrong earlier about cab 11/12 - could be a 13 as well although as you point out the door markings should not start with "Z". Possibly the doors also came from another truck.

That's a lovely truck, Zbyszko. Well done! I like the colours you used and the camouflage scheme.

Regarding trailers.....I am not aware of any surviving original F60T trailers in Europe, but there are some pics on the forum of one or two surviving trailers in a scrapyard in Argentina.
There was/is an F60T in France with a trailer, but I don't think that's an original F60T trailer. I think the owner used a French, or maybe US, trailer and changed the looks a bit to make it look like an F60T trailer.
