An unusual late production F60L |
|||
| At first look this seems to be a normal if somewhat battered F60L. Max Hedges of Yass has been collecting these trucks for some time now and he trucked this one home in March 2002. |

||
| It has all the late production features including the bulge in the bonnet. | The truck has been fitted with a winch. | ||
 |
|||
| The truck has some very artistic damage. | |||
 |
|||
| The first thing I noticed was this hook on the rear of the front spring hangars, presumably for anchoring Scotches when winching. In August 2002 Max located another late Ford with the same hook. | |||

| Lower left view reveals a F15 type gearbox cross member | which has an adaptation for the front drive shaft. | ||
 |
|||
| The cross member has been riveted into place, but the truck has two handbrakes, possibly as replacement parts. A most sensible way to mount the gearbox as the engine does not need to be removed to replace a clutch plate. | |||
