Does your 314 has this system that the pintle is secured to the truck through a winch system so they can release the artillerie piece and winch it back up to the truck from the cabin?

 

[Dafman314]

No just the artillery trekker 328 has that ! My cousin has that truck but it needs some work to it before its on the road !

Mine does have a directional winch on it , I believe the dutch only made around 120 of the Daf ya 314,s with winches so its a rare truck even in holland !

These are great trucks to drive. They are not high speed but very comfortable. Mine is a tipper and as you can see in the photo (not my truck) they dump from the rear or either side. I imported mine into Canada and the morning I had to clear Customs at the Port of Toronto, which is actually Pearson International airport, I couldn't figure out what was happening with barriers going up and the airport closing down to all outbound traffic and only allowing American destination flights to land. I didn't realise it was the morning of 9/11. Amazingly enough I had little difficulty with the paperwork but if it had been the following day I doubt I would have been allowed to get the truck for some time. As it turns out I am only a couple hours drive from Dafman 314.
Cheers,
Barry
