Troll,

Your 50 truck and Victoria would have been built for UK, Australia, NZ, and South Africa perhaps on a Canadian or Australian assy line from what were called CKD packs ( completely knocked down ) and fitted with the RHD steering etc. Some of the stuff like crossover linkage for the clutch and old 'three on the tree' manual gearshift were a pain after a few miles with wear making gearchanges like stirring porridge and hopeing you got the gear you wanted.
