Mercedes ?

No Mercedes. The grille looks a bit Ford-ish, I would say. The bodywork is surely something locally made from Norway.

No, definitely American, as were most vehicles in Norway at the time. Or maybe a Volvo?

The problem is the Mercedes grille :p

I just don't see a Mercedes grille there. Apex is wrong, and where are the horizontal crossbars?

Apex like this, and there are no necessarily horizontal bars on a L311 grille mask.

BTW the windscreen is by Mercedes. too.
I don't believe in american Ford, why should the Norwegians reject a Mercedes chassis, they actually do service from Lapland to Patagonia.
There is even a norwegian Citroen bus in the movie.

I didn't say it was a Ford, could be Chevrolet, Reo, or even some of the dedicated truck makers as well. It's not a question of rejection but resemblance.

Which we would once again agree on. My dream would be for someone to come along who had something to do with it back then, but it only happened once, with a Harley Davidson Road King Police in 2002.
