I do remember a Swiss truck with a custom sleeper on it. Difficult to describe bit I’ll try.
It was an F12. The basic cab was a sleeper. A top pod from a day cab sleeper was put on top and extended to the back. THat made the cab the same length as a normal sleeper, but the roof section extended slightly over the windscreen and was a wee bit taller than a normal Globetrotter.
So it ended up with more height and storage volume than a Globey.
Two drivers, doing Portugal every week. They also had a “custom” supercube tilt trailer. It was a wee bit longer than the standard trailers and since they were owner drivers paid on cube…!
I like that, but although I often used to load back from Starr, I never saw one like that. They used to do some outsize stuff though so maybe that little gem carried support stuff around.
I’m sure thes will have appeared before, but i don’t recall seeing one with the cab and sleeper tilted. I was reading a post where a scammell crusader driver was sticking up for the non tilt cab, because if he emptied the cab to tilt it there was a good chance of his stuff going missing or getting wet/filthy whereas with the crusader you swung the radiator out or lifted the big engine cover off. The henschel/ mercedes here would seem to be an ideal solution, also it would keep the work/ living area separate, apparently there was originally access via the roof hatch but later versions had a door at the rear.
The truck or the lot lizard?

Nowt wrong with that, as long as you have the height warning in the cab up to date.

Is that real? Or a bit of early 20th century photo-fakery?
Never mind any bridges, trees and anything other than a gentle camber would upset any trip
No idea. It was probably real, but never left the premises. As you suggest, it was top heavy. The first telephone line it encountered would have defeated it.
