  1. Most of these Pakistan small outfits use scrap metal. In this case, they probably got a truck load of steel sheet from a surplus dealer at a low price. Buying bigger sheets can cost more than the cost of welding. Also these sheets can be manhandled. Larger sheets would require mechanical handling and attention to work flow, as they are heavy and are subject to crumpling. Also a standard size sheet large enough for the entire roof area is rather too big and would result in a lot of scrap. I've done the same thing for the same reasons. Volume manufacturers needing steel sheet buy it as coils weighing 20 tonnes or more. I'm glad to see that their guy joining the two sheets doesn't do it any better that I do - and I only do this sort of thing on a semi-hobby basis.

  2. This is quite a worry. Hino trucks are made in Pakistan by Hinopak Motors. There seems to be a number of these small shops making all sorts of stamped, forged, and cast parts, presumably supplied to Hinopak to assemble into vehicles. Some of these shops seem more dodgy than others. The firm depicted in this video is using new steel sheet and has a clean floor - a good sign. Most use scrap iron from all sorts of sources and have floors inches deep in dirt. If you buy a Hino truck, make sure it wasn't made in Pakistan.

  3.  @charliebaileyandloganberry7557  : You must be joking. The Far East includes Japan and Taiwan. Taiwan quality is excellent. Japan quality in the 1950's was not so hot, but they were keen and keen to learn, and for decades their quality has been among the best in the world. A lot of what China does is junk, but they are learning too - their electrical goods are as good as anyone's. But not their vehicles, yet.
