Got a detective question regarding a cool truck featured in a 1961 movie..."The Big Gamble" about a guy and his bride starting a hauling business in West Africa...Starred Stephen Boyed, Juliet Grecco. In any event the truck or Lorry as its referred to in the film is a 6x4 "forward control" aka can over engine,and is definitely a British WWII vet(right hand steering). After some research I believe its a 3 ton Crossley Q 4x4 with a tag axle. At first the I thought it was an AEC matador but it's not. Any ideas appreciated. I wish I had a still frame from the film to show. I have DVD I purchased online.
