    DAF. The one thing that's got to go are those air cleaners. They look weird sitting in the middle of the fenders like that.

    I though that might've been the company name.

    I've definitely seen worse looking machinery. A little polish would certainly do that thing justice.

    Oh and it needs some real 8" wide west coast mirrors and the convex mirror underneath.

    This is DAF XT. Really I've never seen on road. Seems to me made for one customer only.

    But conventional design scania, iveco and some other are on road

    Pablo,just 2 trucks were build.
    It was a project off the owner.
    Bought 2 long wheelbase trucks and changed then to hoods.
    Since they were build Paccar has forced both the owner as the builder not to make anymore.
