I wonder if the production company did that so it rides better over the rough terrain but it's strange they did not just use a 60 to 66 Chevy truck

Wasn’t there a fc jeep in that movie too?

Pictures of vehicle in Hatari.

Here's a Land Rover in front of what appears to be a Ford truck and a TF that's camera shy. If you look closely you can see both the ford and the TF are RH drive.

Great movie

[mongocanfly]

only seen this movie a few times a long long time ago....
never noticed the ifs...and flip out winshield...
with the rhd it makes me wonder if that's a overseas thing..
hard to believe back then theyd go to that much trouble to put a AD on a later model chassis

It's possible being over seas that the chassis was updated but they used older bodies.

watch the rhino chase when they jump the little hill...you can see the ifs..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX-UNQK-2vA
good catch on the bed...I was watching the suspension so close I never realized its got a 60s fleetside bed on it..so I guess they did stick a AD cab on a 60s truck chassis

Torsion?
