Chassis Numbers on Ford CMPs

[Chris Pinckney]

Where are the chassis numbers located on the Fords.

Trying to identify two vehicles.

The first a 13 cab F60s ex RAAF. No indentifying plates. Chassis completely removed of paint and gone over. No numbers that could be chassis numbers found. all numbers appear to be part numbers . Vehicle had been previously restored but number found on nose under several layers of paint is different. Vehicle is either 213062 or 213709 which is the number found under the paint.

The second is a 12 cab F60l which i hope to restore a s well. Still gathering parts. No badges were on vehicle except the one that was near the firewall under bonnet. Unfortunately it was removed within 12 hours of me recovering vehicle. Is this badge to do with the cooling system as i am led to believe? It has above this badge painted on the date 8-6-41 with the numbers 2037 below. Is this the manufacturers serial number and build date? No numbers found on chassis. Number found painted on side of nose is 27896.

Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
