Reminder of the previous message
his 1975 comes from this
http://www.roundhouse.ch/Auto/Postauto_Saurer-Alpenwagen.htm
but it doesn't prove or say that it was the year the model was introduced
strangely this toy is the only real reference to the vehicle
, there is no article on the actual vehicle
I don't want to keep it as unknown, I just hoped that someone who watched the movie can say if the directors tried to search for a bit of accuracy concerning the vehicles. If so, they should have indeed used a Reo or a Kaiser-Jeep model, as the action apparently takes place in the 1960s. If not, an AM-General is also possible, as it was certainly the easiest model to get in 2001. Trying to obtain the most accurate identification implies taking all details into consideration, for me, or it's just a coin toss and can't then be seriously called an identification.
But whatever the make, we shouldn't neither say "it's a Something" without writing/indicating somewhere that it is a default identification.
Incidentally, Mike932's hysteria about unknown vehicles becomes more and more boring: his last "reactions" occurred after only 10 to 48 hours. Is this such an eternity?

look nobody cares if an M35 truck was an original Reo or later AM General specially since you cannot tell any difference from outside and it was no role vehicle !
here a CHALLENGE for you , can you find ANY articles or external differences between the original ones (Studabaker, Reo, Kaiser-Jeep etc) and the later AM General ?
cos if NOT you have no point, it's impossible to tell them apart
even if by a miracle you can find any info you cannot be sure since this trucks go thru maintance cycles and old parts may have been upgraded
you're thinking to much of badges, emblems etc like civilian trucks, in the military nobody cares about such things, they build straight to the point most of the time using the same blueprints and parts suppliers
some busted ones

Let's say that things won't change: you'll continue to guess, invent things or choose the lazy way just to calm down your phobia, I'll keep on searching to get as accurate identifications as I can (my own neurosis) 
nice straw man 
then tell us mighty Elmer, what is this ?
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=830831#VehicleDetails
or is it unknow forever ?
I say Ducato by default and be done , how can you prove it that's not a Fiat Ducato?
no badges visibles, front not visible, even wheels not visible
maybe the mighty Elmer can find a statistic which one was sold most with that body and color combination
