johnfromstaffs ◊ 2014-07-11 14:43	What is the point of this?
mike962 ◊ 2014-07-11 15:18	wonder myself, dozens of trucks with no cab visible

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2014-07-11 15:48	In my view, it is a waste of rations.

However the colour and or livery could have changed. There are visible identifiable features, probably more so than on a modern truck, front axle shape, wheels and mudguards that can be checked against photographs of a truck viewed from the front.

Sunbar ◊ 2014-07-11 17:53	Agreed there are many where there is absolutely no identifying features to be seen and the truck body is so common that it should be moved to comments if it is part of the movie, or deleted if background and of no interest. -- Last edit: 2014-07-11 17:54:29
mike962 ◊ 2014-07-11 18:09	well you are a admin, you could do it if there are no objections -- Last edit: 2014-07-11 18:09:15
