Having
bought this truck some (long) time ago, I decided it was high time to recover
it, and chose to make it the last thing for 2001...
to F15 page.
The
light of day after many years in a shed. The truck had been a donor for
other projects but what remained was too good to wreck further.
The
rear tyres were unusual 12.00 16. Good for sand!
Papa
bear and baby bear. The F60L travelled about 100ks round trip and ran well,
although the tyres I'd swapped to it caused nasty wheel shimmy at cruising
speed.
Once
we'd rolled the truck out we used the CMP's winch to position it in front
of the bobcat ramps.
A
Turfa winch was used to haul it onto the tray. Euan made up a mounting bracket
for the F60L
Slight
steering adjustment from Euan...
...and
she's ours!
What
a combo.
Ready
to roll.
Journey's
end at Eltham where it (temporarily) joins the other truck which uses it's
original roof.
Group
portrait with the owner. Can you Canucks pick the T shirt?
