Ford F60L Mach-M1 Mk 11, Camp Borden, Ontario |
|||
|
In February 2001 I visited Camp Borden with Geoff Winnington Ball where we were kindly shown around by Fred Olsen, a volunteer who acts as a guide and archivist in his spare time. One of the vehicles in the museum is this almost unused (1705 miles) F60L Mach -M1. It's a very late production vehicle and displays some features not seen on Australian produced CMPs. Due to it's originality I photographed it in some detail, mainly to show some of the radio bonding straps. |

 |
||
| Data plates mounted on drivers door. I've seen Aussie doors drilled for them but have never seen a data plate on any. I have seen the equivalent to this on a gun tractor mounted on the dash. | |||
 |
 |
||
| The bakelite doorknob - missing from all Australian trucks I've seen. Many Fords in Australia had a simple twist in the handle. | Removable upper radiator bar was a feature of very late production and was a good idea to assist in engine removals. | ||

| Right hand mirror bracket showing strap to front shell. The cab frame appears to have been cut and welded here. | Slightly lower and on the left. showing strap to door. | ||
 |
 |
||
| Both sides of the grille. | |||
 |
 |
||
|
Crank handle hole in front of the grille. The crank handle bracket has been broken. |
Bonding straps to radiator overflow tank and splash guard. | ||

||
| Another couple of features not seen on Australian production. Round roof hatch... | ...and reversed windscreen wiper. Note folded in section on roof frame to accommodate. | ||
