SOLVED: si_451 - Csepel-(H) - D-744.23

Hopefully it will rarely be needed!
For one item, name the manufacturer, type and year of construction of this rescue vehicle.
I have no information on the manufacturer of the superstructure. Perhaps one of you? Out of order, so that we become even smarter...

Csepel from Hungary?

Yes, it is a csepel. Now only the type designation and year of manufacture are missing. Locked for you.

i found that photo with this description:
"The universally used Csepel trucks could handle almost any task. The D-744 type truck shown in the picture is equipped with a technical rescue structure. The picture was taken at the Budapest International Fair in the early 1970s"

Hey del78, I checked my source again and you are right, it is a D744.23, 4x4, fire engine with loading crane. According to the source, it would be a 4x2 tractor...
So I'll leave out the year of manufacture and you have your next point.

thanks
do You imagine how long I was looking for a different model name? 

[sichel]

Yes, I can imagine that and also how many new sources you have discovered  . But seriously, such challenges are the appeal of this forum.
