The difference between these two was the tonnage capacity. rjluna2 wrote I think the DU780 is for the dump truck A large percentage of UG780s from Google Images show up as tippers (dump trucks) though. -- Last edit: 2015-07-28 16:17:43
eLMeR ◊ 2015-07-29 00:45	@ rjluna2: Differences are generally payload and/or wheelbase, rarely accessories: don't forget that most of the trucks come out of the factory as chassis-cab. @ kegare: The 1980 brochure cover shows 2 wheelbases, another lead which could be followed. To be honest, I didn't find more specs about these trucks for now, hence the 780-Series until someone can give us more details... -- Last edit: 2015-08-04 12:58:49
