That's the original Ford Cargo cab dating from 1981, before Iveco's involvement.

Note that this truck is right hand drive or perhaps dual control, to give the driver a better view of the side of the road.

Yes, but when Ford sold off their heavy truck division to Mercedes-Benz, they also got rid of the lighter Ford Cargo, and Ford Cargoes after 1999 were rebadged as both Freightliners and Sterlings. This is a Freightliner.

I know, I was just pointing out that this cab is not an Iveco design.

isn't ti same convention as with truck cranes for example ?

if its a simple truck with attachments should be simple truck, if't a purpose build sweeper machine then should go to this category

I guess this site has categories to fit whatever the function of the subject vehicles :think:

Originally this category was intended for special purpose vehicles indeed, big or small.
For this particular one, I do not know. It is rather heavily modified I think. It is not very important though.
But vehicles like /vehicle.php?id=606100 are just a tanker + sprinklers, not really a street sweeper.
