Default Sounds like an amazing experience

The dune pictures are not ment to be from Tobruk but from Agami training camp in Egypt where the Czechoslovak unit had been trained before they were transfered to Tobruk. No need to say that it was our lifetime experience.
There were some other vehicles apart from the F60, such as Bedford MWD, Bedford MW water tank and rare Ford WOT3.
You can check out some more pictures here:

The website is in Czech only. There are pictures from actors physical training, preparations, filming etc. The movie is comming out in September.
Certainly one to be seen.

Another angle on the F60L - there is something strange about the towing 'D's too. Apologies for being so picky! Oh, and the Div sign is on the wrong side, Ford badge missing, no caunter on canvas... Ooops - there I go again.

I agree with Mike, this is a big improvement on past movies indeed, and who, other than we pedants will ever notice the difference. If the storyline is strong and the storytelling compelling it will be a good movie.

And as for the grille - from surviving examples both types were used on Fords, with the Chev type being more common - sometimes they were even mixed on the same vehicle, possibly because of bonnet swaps.
