So I was just overseas in Italy, Greece, and Turkey (aptly named) for a couple of weeks.
Walking down a street in Istanbul, I happened upon a constuction site. The two and three axle dump trucks are of Japanese Hino and or Euro manufacture marketed by The local Chrysler name. Power is by Perkins turbo intercooled diesels. There's the big five point DC star on it, and DODGE across the grilles. Smaller two and 3 ton trucks are labeled DeSoto and Fargo. Sorta strange seeing those names running around.
As an amusement, hit the website shown below.

I'll post a pic of a dump truck once I figure out how to do it.
