Junkman ◊ 2007-06-13 19:24	Wouldn't it be sufficient to say it's a 1968-1970 BMC Pilot cab?

Sunbar ◊ 2007-06-14 10:56	Not the 16-ton Mastiff because the cab would sit higher and the wheel arches would be deeper. This is a medium tonnage panel truck so most likely a 'Laird'. The roof mounted headboard is an 'add-on' that could be added to any cab regardless of the truck's size.
