I learnt to drive in a similar sized truck, it was a Bedford straight six, can't remember the model id. The engine was real buzz, it used to sing. I loved double clutching her.
A friend / co-worker had a pickup version in the early 70s. What a trip that was to drive! Between having to bungee the driver door closed to the very specific method of getting it into 3rd gear, there wasn't any worry about theft!
