No there's no difference in the frame, they were shipped fully assembled. The only difference between the Canadian and Australian FGT chassis is the axles and steering gear, as the 6" steering ends and 400 steering box weren't shipped here until '44, by which time FGT production had ceased. Same goes for pre '44 F60L and F60S chassis in Australia. Not sure why we didn't get the heavy duty components earlier. The way it worked for local pattern bodies is they were designed around the Canadian chassis as received. Interestingly we've found what we believe is the first FGT chassis received in Australia, ordered specifically for that purpose. It's a very early FGT chassis with the Chev diffs and a roofless Cab 11. I believe the present owner is planning a repro FAT body eventually, thus fulfilling it's intended purpose somewhat belatedly!

I remember that chassis turning up on ebay, I was all set to bid for it until Keith told me it was near you. Which is rather fortunate because I certainly don't need any more FGT headache projects!

Yes it will be a challenge . Probably end up with a repro unfortunately
A few projects ahead of that one at the moment Interesting I haven't heard of any other Cab 11 FGT in any form in Australia . A few Cab 12 but rare on the ground too

Chev ones are slightly wider with a more curved look . Ford ones have slightly sharper edges
