let's try .gif ";)") ep. 31 aired in february 1977, so it was filmed in 1976. NG debut was in 1973 only with construction-site-trucks, the other range came in 1974. to me this trucks does not look like a new one, it lookes used. i guess to "see" the label starting with a "1". early NG startet as 16-tons with three different enginepowers: 192, 256 and 320 PS. so there are the three possibilities: 1619, 1626 or 1632.between 1972 and 1976 german law demanded a minimum enginepower of 8 PS for the ton of the total weight. so for a full 38-tons-truck a minimum of 304 PS was required. at this time, the top-engines were not used very often, up to 1979 much trucks on the middle-east-route just had engines around 280 to 300 PS. so the average at this time was to use a 1626. construction-site-trucks have been overloaded much times, so in this case it was useful to choose the stronger engine. in the early years of NG the top-engine has been seen in construction-site-trucks, not in "usual" commercial trucks. i agree to think about an all-wheel-drive, which was not used often combinated with the small engine. also i'm not sure, if a 1619 4x4 was offered in the early ng-days. the small cab points to a truck used in local traffic. i tried to manipulate the image and i might to see an "1" in the beginning of the label and a "2" at the and. so the result of my personal circumstantial evidence lawsuit: NG 1632 4x4 .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2007-04-21 23:43:20 |
