Malcolm,

You mean this one? http://www.milweb.net/webverts/64872/

A guy I know has one, they are well built German trucks with room to take along family and friends on a ride or to a show. Looks like a great buy at £1000 ono....

Bob have tried 3 times to post a picture but it will not let me..any chance of a sneak peak at yours so I can compare...must have come over with the german Army to Batus..or maybe the made some for the RAF as well...but quite agree nicest looking truck Ive had in a long time...in some respects looks a bit like the old Morris MRA-1..but with an American front end....best regards malcolm

BATUS is British army training establishment Suffield (Alberta). The Germans came to GATES (German Army Training Establishment Shilo). GATES wasn't established until the early 70s. Was the German Army still using vehicles of 50s vintage at that point?
