Wow I didn't think he'd still be around.
I must give him a call

Hi Rick,
And thanks for that. Although I didn't upload the picture not because I'm lazy. I've posted the link instead because there is some info on the picture in the site and also there are several options for downloading it.
For example you can download the picture in stunning quality in TIFF format, preferred for printed publications. Indeed, the file size is big but it is worth, I think. You'll be able to read the tyre manufacturer
Cheers!

Default Is this one a Ford?

A good one for this thread, is the Blitz a Ford or Chev? I think Ford as it seems to have two handles on the roof in front of the hatch.

Seeing it's in Europe it won't be an Australian built truck so it can't have two handles.

Both makes had a single grab rail in front of the hatch on Canadian built trucks.
