sixcyl ◊ 2006-07-18 21:39	That is a good question, that I cannot answer easily ... I think around 1955
Alexander ◊ 2006-07-18 21:39	As far as I know this cab was used for the U23 since 1953.
DIEHARD ◊ 2006-07-18 21:45	Ok, thank you for the answers, I thought the U23 was first produced somewhere at the end of the 1950s. Therefor I thought I had found an error in the movie... But it seems to be well casted, according to the years you specificy. Although I must remark that I thought the truck looked much older than the maximum of two years it could be when it was used in the movie.... -- Last edit: 2006-07-18 21:48:51
