DidierF ◊ 2013-09-08 20:42	Yes, dsl… But if it's a Berliet, it's a TLM-something… If it's a Scania-Vabis, it could be a 1964 L 76.
chris40 ◊ 2013-09-09 00:28	It's a Berliet for sure; the cab's the wrong shape for a Scania-Vabis and the screen is too curved. -- Last edit: 2013-09-09 00:29:12

chris40 ◊ 2013-09-09 08:10	A separate frame, to which the body is bolted; unlike the monocoque hulls used by lesser manufacturers. (I have to admit I sympathised to some extent; it made life difficult for coachbuilders.)
DidierF ◊ 2013-09-09 10:30	Ah, OK. Like a French châssis, quoi. (I'm a bit stupid, and it shows from time to time.)
