After WW2 transport needed creativty as chassis were no longer available and army-surplus
also needed adjustments. Kuiphuis from Oldenzaal (Eastern part of Holland, close to the German
border) bought an ex-army GMC with crane. Not only as a wrecker but also for lifting (old) bodies
of former trucks, hence a sort of container-approach. In the early fifties Kuiphuis also produced
tailer-made cabs, like the one on the DAF-chassis. Nowadays Kuiphuis is known for its impressive
fleet of cranes together with heavy-transport.
