Default Malaya and DND lorries

David ,

I am going off on a tangent that isn't answering your question , but, it's all about old green trucks just the same . Cab 11 and 12 DND pattern trucks did make it to Malaya ( with British units ) , before the sons of Nippon decided they liked em so much , they just had to go down there and capture them . There are contemporary pics existing somewhere , of the Japs driving the Fords and Chevs around , with broad smiling faces too . They used to run them on saki , its true .

Mike
