All Classic Commercial Trucks

Long-running truck ranges of the early and mid twentieth century, among them the Ford Model TT, the Leyland Comet and the Bedford TK. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the vehicle a truck of a long-running range made by Ford, Leyland or Bedford. It excludes current heavy trucks and military trucks. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
