So ? Another coachbuilder's name than what ?

[targhediferro]

Another coachbuilder's name than what ?

I can't understand your question...anyway I'm trying to check if that plate is affordable or not. A closer look to your picture can reveal some little differences (position of front lights, two side windows instead one, foot-step missing, bigger profile) but windscreen line, front bumper and other things are really similar, so I think that there must a connection.

[pguillem]

These two trucks seem to me to be different.  Anyway I couldn't find the coachbuilder of the Suze truck, with its additional side window.  I'm stuck.
