Hotchkiss PL-something, I think. Link to "i.pinimg.com" Link to "auto-zer.com" |

1946-52 PL20 or 1952-64 PL25 indeed. From what I understood from this page (fr) and from picture comparison, the main difference between the two models is that the PL20 has a 2-tonne / 4,400 lb payload while the PL25 has a 2.5-tonne / 5,500 lb one. Otherwise, they look exactly the same, except that: • the PL20 specs show that its cowl is apparently 2 cm / 0.78" longer than the PL25 (I never managed to spot that length difference in pictures...); • 1946-51 PL20 were RHD; • PL25 trucks with a longer wheelbase (PL25L) were sold from January 1953 onwards. So if I'm not mistaken, telling a 1951-52 PL20 from a 1952+ standard length PL25 seems to be somewhat difficult. The steering wheel of "our" movie truck seems to be on the left, so let's say it's a PL25 by default? |
