Guess you all noticed that it is a C60L, not a Ford doing all the work. (Radiator expansion tank on LH mudguard).
At Packenham, Vic. Aust.next to the Princes Highway, just where it crossed the creek there was a Yankee Joe complete with auger, it disappeared years ago. Have a photo somewhere but could take a while to find.

F60t?

Great pictures Cliff, thank you for sharing them with us. I was looking closely at the truck thinking it was a F60T but it appears the wheel base is too long and I'm wondering if perhaps that is an F60S with the box removed and a fifth wheel hitch installed? CHIMO! Derek.

I am pretty sure we used the 134in WB CMP 60S models as semi's rather then the 'T' model.
