https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKm7yLKqtIk80’s trucks about as good as it got.I never drove a Fiat but that driving position and steering looks perfect to me a bit like the Foden S83.

i had a fiat 170f26 with that same gearbox and it was a pleasant motor to drive. had its niggles , if you cocked up the - push gearstick forward , turn the hydraulic lock procedure the wrong way round after tilting the cab , you ended up with a floppy gearstick and only the splitter working , but it only did that after several miles . you could sum it up , good engine, great gearbox, bomb proof back axle , shame everything else on it fell apart after about 12 months or so .
