Default looks nice

That's not a bad effort . Only nerds like us would pick on the detail errors . I'd rather see a truck like that .... than the horrors you see in those 1960's movies .

I was involved in a TV mini series in 1984.. a story set in 1940, The Dunera Boys .I told the props person Jeeps were not around then, especially here in OZ . No, it's in the script she said .. They even had a Land Rover making up the numbers in a few of the long distance convoy scenes ! Some interesting people on the set. John Mellion, Bob Hoskins, Warren Mitchell , Maurie Fields .A few of us from the VMVC supplied vehicles ... I was driving C. Andersons Marmon around a lot.. The director wasn't impressed with me ... they had a scene set up .. 'action' .. the truck ran out of petrol ...if looks could kill ..oh dear .
