Hi, Fernando it is a very nice shot of the Engesa system. I was wondering how many were built with it, because in the book Military Vehicles from 1945 written by Bart Vanderveen is also a picture of the same truck but photographed from a different angle. I think that it was a one off build, to test the system. There are other pictures with Dodge, Chevrolet and Mercedes trucks with the same system. Do you or your uncle know more about it?
Greetings Paul
