What you have at the museum is the typical C60 rear fairleads.....with two horizontal rollers.
The one on the second wrecker is shared with the early CGT gun tractor...... the brackets are totally different and only uses one horizontal rollers. The special brackets allows the whole assembly to stick out a couple of extra inches. The following picture is from a very early cab 11 CGT....... ..... the only difference is that the side plates do not have the extra extension and hole for the wreckers' hook. cheers PS...... taken 7+ years ago near Sault Ste Marie.

So Bob, how come there is no room at the tow hook? Is the body sitting too low and needs some packers put back in?

To my eyes, Chris' hook spring is tucked well inside the frame ends using brackets typical of a (later) GS truck while John and Bob's photos show the spring about inline with the end of the frame rails (or perhaps even a bit further aft?).
Both wrecker bodies do seem to be sitting tight to the frame rails. Perhaps to keep them secure against odd loads and provide clearance under the booms? |

All,
Very Many Thanks for your replies and the photos from John Corden - they're most helpful. For John Corden - John could I take you up on your offer for more detailed photos of the rear frame and dimensions, etc? Cheers, Chris Preston Victoria, BC |

Hi Chris,
Here is another photo of the rear of a C60s Wrecker. This in Hendrik's in the Netherlands. AS you can see it is the same as my set up. Will take some detail photos of mine truck today for you.
