Three DAF YA 328 water trucks, with details of the cabin and the pump positioned where a whinch would be.

Some more details of the supporting wheel/spare. The first one shows how the wheel is nicely positioned to help raise the truck of the edges. The second shows details of the "hub" after the wheel has been removed. You can see that it is actually connected as a none-powered wheel.

Welcome to the site. Any pics of your DAF 314? Too bad I did not see that earlier, our blacksmiths (from Czech Republic) were in Salt Lake City in July.

I found another pic of that truck, with a little bit better view of what is in the back. That 50 cal gun probably is a plastic replica. More about DAF and DAF miltary trucks you can also find on the website of the DAF Club of America. Most of that forum is dedicated to the civil little...
