Hola Jorge,
In this case I mean any truck, not only heavy haulage. The spanish trucks are very unique and seldom, and I'm sure that many people like to see pictures of trucks that nearly haven't been operated out of Spain.
Also fire-fighting vehicles are definately welcome (as you can see by looking into our Forum "Einsatzfahrzeuge"!). But I'ld suggest that you post these pictures here in the "international" forum :-)
I personally would be very much interested in the old 4 axle 8x2 trucks which in my eyes have been the typical spanish freight trucks of the 70-ies and 80-ies. These trucks have been pretty unique in many aspects; just one of these aspects is, for example, the steering system. Once I have more time I'll explain it a little bit more detailed. But also the selection of the diesel engines was interesting, as well as the suspension.
As you may know over here in Germany the 4-axle lorry was not permitted by law until 1983 or 1984; that's why we unfortunately don't have "old" 4 axle trucks....apart from some prototypes, and - of course - heavy haulage trucks which were allowed to homologate under exemption rules.
