... sorry Keith, Max's old Ute looks more stylish and is a show winner. That's the reason I didn't recognised it at first sight

I have to disagree Hanno. It appears that it's got a US style pickup body ...or something like it, you can see the rear corner outline silhouetted . The Aussie ute bodies are 'fatter' at the back... with narrow rear guards. Those Fords were used by the South African army and many others I would think. A generic vehicle of U.S. origin , assembled all over the world !

Just my opinion

Mike,

How could I argue with one of Australia´s experts? Googled some images to convince myself, concluded you must be right. Thanks for being eagle-eyed!
