Extremely amazing video! Thanks for sharing.
Given its capacity and load capability, it is interesting to note that a Kekra only cost 1 million Pak Ruppees, where as a standard 5 seater car probably costs more than a million.

Good idea! Unfortunately bad scripting and incorrect technical information:
1) It is Bedford engine (A subsidiary of Vauxhall/GM) - not Bradford.
In my opinion it is important to always look for perfect information as any presentation here or at any other medium is taken as a reference for Pakistan and any thing related to its history, culture etc.

I wonder that these old US origin trucks are still being used for transportation.
Hats off to those Mechanics who maintain these machines.
