Info needed: Correct location for rifle holders in Cab13 F60S

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Mark,

And thank you too for the detailed explanation and the extra photos which make it all clear. You have a very nice looking combination there.

Perhaps our NZ members can answer a question:
In 2002 on a voyage to New Zealand, the ship's agent took me to a salvage yard between Lyttleton and Christchurch to show me a Ford CMP truck sitting there. Didn't take any photos unfortunately, but I distinctly remember the side storage lockers on the body which was different to any Australian bodied vehicle I had seen up to that time. I just assumed it was a New Zealand body variant of a GS vehicle. My friend was not a MV enthusiast so could not shed any light on the subject.

So, based on that info, did the NZ Army use the same LAAT as Mark's example and therefore I was looking at a LAAT?

Cheers,

We have unrenovated cab 13 F60L still with original holders - and they are in the corners...

Hi Mark,

I didn't know that you where into CMP's, just thought that you had the BSA?

Up where I live, in the 80's we had a scrap yard that had a few Ford LAAT's. I think they had been used by The United Bus Company. They feature in one of the early Wheels and Tracks.
Where did you get yours from? I know that Simon Johnson from Blackburn/Preston sold one some time ago. I had part share in a Chev C15, but it was sold about 12 years ago to someone in the Midlands, would like to find out where it went.

Yours is looking good.
