DAF SB – the collective page of the classic bonneted DAF truck range: six-cylinders of 8.3 to 11.9 litres, unladen weight 7,750 to 13,320 kg, gross weight up to 18,000 kg
This page gathers the DAF SB, the classic truck range of the Dutch maker from Eindhoven, which began in 1928 as the Van Doorne family's trailer factory and built its own trucks from 1949. The SB range ran for decades with bonneted cabs and was offered alongside the more modern forward-control ranges. Type codes such as DS, DH, DK and DKL before the three-digit number denote DAF's own chassis and engine variants; the numbers before them, such as 200, 2005, 2300, 2305 and 3000, denote the range generation.

The register lists here 15 versions from six-cylinders of 8,270 to 11,900 cm³, unladen weights from 7,750 to 13,320 kg, gross weights from 11,999 to 18,000 kg, lengths from 11,380 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,440 to 2,500 mm.
For decades the SB range was the backbone of Dutch long-haul and construction-site transport and established DAF's reputation as a maker of rugged, easily serviced trucks, which kept classic bonneted models in its line-up for specialist tasks even after switching to forward-control cabs.
On used examples, rust on the frame and cab, the condition of the engine and clutch, the tightness of the injection pump, and the condition of the leaf springs and brake system on these reliability-focused six-cylinders all count; parts for the classic SB models run through DAF and specialist vintage-truck dealers.
