The truck is based on European design. They do have two-axle cabovers in
Europe. Mercedes-Benz builds a ton of them, I think they are called the
Mercedes-Benz Actros. Saab/Scania and Volvo also build them.

So has does anyone actually *own* a 5563 yet?  And are the wheels
the same as the ones on the 5571?  They certainly appear to be the
same from the catalog shots.

I received one for Christmas. Haven't built it yet but did look close enough
to confirm that yes, the wheels are the same as the 5571's.

Speaking of trucks, any Model Team fans who haven't seen Dennis Bosman's
Trucks and Construction Machinery page should check it out. It was a
Cool LEGO Site of the Week about a month ago and is definitely worthy of
that distinction. In my dreams I could build stuff half so impressive!
