Oman - remnants of a truck in the desert
 

...quite some time ago since I have last been here in the MLU-forum. After moving back to Europe from Northern Africa, my chances to find truck wrecks in the desert have simply dwindled.

However - I was lucky this spring and got the chance to spend some days in the Rub' al-Khali in the Sultanate of Oman. Pleeeenty of sand and dunes...

...and some remnants of a truck. More or less only the cargo bay but luvkily with the manufacturer's plate still on it.

There was no date visible and a quick Google search about "Reynolds Boughton" only brought me to the RB 44 truck - which was obviously not carrying this cargo bay.

Would anybody have an idea what truck this could have been?

Hmm is the Dexion angle iron what is attached to the body not a post war material ?

Maybe something like this - a Bedford 4x2

Found It.

1972 Reynolds Boughton bodied Bedford.

Lang - you are my hero :-) Thanks a lot for your efforts.

I rather enjoyed reading, The Empty Quarter, about that piece of isolate desert.
