Cool and unusual trucks found on Big Lorry Blog
An older semi in Brazil, and I like the grill, full length and looking like a 1940's car design
Cool.
Looks like the back wheels also steer
Looks like water cannons on top, and armor covering the back
This and the last photo in this gallery are both 4 wheels under the cab.
It seems similar to an F.A.R. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/three-wheeled-tractor-trailer-rig.html but definitly not similar to the Scammell or the Tempo, so it seems there might have been another 3 wheel delivery that I haven't learned about yet.
Mighty powerful little trailer mover
Yuck, very ugly, but does it have this design because that allows it to go under the trailers for reversing the trailer into a loading dock?
Best advertising on a trailer rig I've seen in a while

I've never seen this type of vehicle before, maybe you'll get a kick out of these too, the Scammell Scarab
the above is the Townsman model, the below are Scarabs
In 1934, Scammell produced the 3-wheeled 'Mechanical Horse', designed to replace horses in rail, postal and other delivery applications. This featured automatic carriage coupling and the single front wheel could be steered through 360 degrees. It was sold in 3- and 6-ton versions. The 3-tonner was powered by a 1,125 cc side-valve petrol engine and the 6-tonner by a 2,043 cc engine.
In the late 1940s, the 'Mechanical Horse' was superseded by the Scammell Scarab, with similar features but a much less angular cab and now with a 2,090 cc side-valve petrol engine in both models and a diesel version with a Perkins engine.
In 1967, the 'Scarab' was replaced by the 'Townsman', which had a fibre-glass cab.
