TWO extra-tong-wheelbase versions of the
Ford D600 chassis are now available. These are designed for carrying light but bulky loads and the models are obtained by fitting D600 mechanical components in the heavier frame of the D750.
There are now five wheelbase versions of the D600, the additional ones of 15 ft. 2 in., and 17 ft. 2 in. supplementing the existing 10 ft., 11 ft. 2 in., and 13 ft. wheelbase chassis. Apart from the frame which is 10.5 in. by 3.5 in. by 0.276 in., compared with 9.5 in. by 2.97 in. by 0.21 in. on the three shorter-wheelbase chassis, the new versions have a virtually unchanged specification. The only mechanical differences are the use of propeller shafts as on the D750 and the mandatory fitting of 8.25-20, 12-ply tyres.
