The truck on the left. Used a couple of times as background truck. Make is Mercedes-Benz I suppose? |

Yes, for sure. 1017 was the smallest version of this model-range. |

That is the normal number code for Mercedes-Benz trucks. The first two digits give the gross-weight, the last two times 10 the approximate horsepower rate. The entry level of the Mercedes-Benz NG (NG = neue Generation = new generation) is the 1013 which is a bit underpowered and hence rare. In 1975 the available engines for the middle-weight class were as follows: * 1013, 1017, 1019 (130, 168, 192 PS) * 1213, 1217, 1219 (130, 168, 192 PS) * 1413, 1417, 1419, 1424 (130, 168, 192, 240 PS) * 1613, 1617, 1624 (130, 168, 240 PS) There was also a heavy-weight class that used the same cab. |
