If you're pretty sure, I'll list it as that. on further inspection..its a WW2 Bedford 3 Ton QL..not the OY...from the body i would identify it as the Bedford QLD..the troop carrying variant of the QL..the thumbnail pic threw me..i originally thought it showed the flat front of an OY, but further scrutiny reveals a distinctive QL grille with the tubular "brush guard" in situ..100 % certain its a Bedford QL with the QLD dropside rear body. just change OY to QL in the title. -- Last edit: 2008-02-21 01:32:22
