We
spent ages getting this one running. It was a F60S used by Agra Pest Control
with a tanker on the back which had run out of control backwards with a
full tank of spray which had ruined the rear chassis. Tony and I hacksawed
the rear chassis off and relocated the spring hangars to make it into a
short wheelbase. With only one of 4 brakes working we bravely (foolishly)
drove it short distances.. That's me beside the door.
Here
it is running in the middle of Morrison Court, North Box Hill.

One
of the first CMPs my friend Tony Wheeler bought - a F60L rather battered
but with a good engine. It cost $60.00 in 1973.
Ford
F60L with winch and F15A with FGT running gear at home in Eltham, Vic. The
F60L has since been sold.
F15A I once briefly owned, It had a very straight rust-free cab but had been fitted with a later 8BA V8 (right)
