The vertical steering column makes the truck look decidedly veteran if it is American. The British liked this style much longer.

The half circle cutout in the dash looks suspiciously like it had a steering column on the left side at one time. Then again it could be a cowl-only import with its American dash and the local people finshed the right hand drive conversion, cab/tray construction etc.

On your next visit things to look for.

Any markings on the engine or gearbox - note the numbers and any logos or emblems cast there.

hub caps are often marked with name or logo.

Rear axle often has distinctive markings on the diff.

Any names on the headlight surround, instruments or steering wheel. Name on carby?

Has it a generator or starter - these often have small plates as does the radiator tank. Magnetos have names on them.

Next time get good closeups of both sides of the engine.
