question Date of manufacture f60 laat

[POPPY]

Hi,

 

Unfortunately my F60 CMP LAAT is missing it's metal data contract plates that rivet onto the driver side door.

 

Could anyone kindly inform me if there is another way of dating and finding out the location the manufacture of my Ford and perhaps finding out its original Serial number . Is there a chassis number stamped els where ?

 

I have looked on the rear of the towing pintle plate and found the figure '44' (a year of manufacture perhaps ?)

 

I look forward to any advice,

 

kind regards,

 

Mark

Hello Mark,

 

if you post a few photos which show the following areas:

Instruments, steering wheel, hubs, front of cab below the head lights, cab roof it may enable a decision to be made as to early or late 13 cab production without the door plates it's not easy to be definite. Your suggestion based on the date on the rear of the tow hook is reasonable but assumes the draw gear has not been changed at some time.
