Mercedes-Benz 1418

One of the most popular trucks of the 1970's would be the Mercedes-Benz 1418. With it's 14t gross mass and 180 horsepower 6 cylinder diesel engine, the 1418 was a no-nonsense little workhorse available in bonnetted and cabover forms. Here is a selection of finely restored and still working examples:
