    Oshkosh were manufactured in South Africa during the 70's and 80's they were distributed by Caterpillar dealers.
    They were very basic reliable trucks but not known for driver comfort.
    There are still a few on the road.

    Western Star is distributed here by Liebherr , the German crane and earth moving equipment supplier.
