I know I'm no great shakes as a photographer, but I do try to pay
attention. Whenever someone uses a word I don't know, I look it up.

John, I am impressed! Yes, "Bakkie" is the South African word for a
small truck/pick up/ute. I still drive my 1993 Isuzu KB260.

Alan C called it a "backkie" & I had to look it up. That's why I put the
word in quotes. It's not a term in common use here in the U.S. I don't
think. And I think I misspelled it. Should be "Bakkie", no 'c'.

The "backkie" looks like it might once have been used as a fire truck.
John I am not familiar with the term "backkie" I forgot it was a truck
and called it Vintage Car. It might well have been used as a fire
vehicle.
