Greg, is there another smaller data plate on the dash beside the vehicle plate you've quoted? Is there a plate on the body (maybe along the lower edge on the rear to the left of the rear door) that says what body it is?

Bruce ..You are absolutly correct..The Mark l Machinery"F" body was on the C 60x....The Mark ll (two) "F"body was designed for the C60L.....
The mark l had the Willys MB driving the 7 1/2 KW gennie...
The Mark ll had the 7 1/2 KW gennie driven by a PTO off the truck engine and was belT drive...
Feild openings were cut willy nilly in most of these bodies and the only way to know for sure is the Data plate..sometimes....
Here is the"F" body Mark ll on a C 60 L...
