Cabovers

Saw this truck working today up by the Canadian border.....

 

2010 Argosy as I can see.

Not popular truck in Ukraine, but I used to work on one with Mercedes OM460 Euro-3 engine.

 

I copy /pasted this from a post I saw in another thread.

 

cab looks pretty short, is there any possibility that this truck use unterflur ( horizontal engine) i have heard this existed in USA too .

i think cab is too short to fit engine below....

 

That's a K100 Kenworth. Engine is upright, behind the grille. That one being a day cab it would expose part of the rear of an in-line 6 or V12 at the back of the cab.

 

Even these had engines in normal inline position.

@king Q ,

when i was a kid on on TV they were showing 2 movies called Gods must be crazy these were my favorite movies, first one was better and more funny , but 2nd one was my fav because it included this Scania , as much i can see it is late 1984 or 1985 model ....what bother me is truck dont look right.....it have full air deflectors like tractor and air intake mounted behind cab( ok i guess side air intake was not necessary in Africa as here) ......front nice chrome/stainless steel bumper, aluminium rims on front axle , but rear tires are single mounted for offroad and hub reduction axles......like they connected two trucks in one.....or prepare truck just for movie ( tractor)

...... body dont look right either it is too short to be usable.......i wonder what is your opinion on truck, was that common combination in South Africa/Botswana back than?

I ask because I'am consider to make 1/87 model of it
