Mostly Budd nowadays. IIRC the last Brazilian trucks with Dayton wheels were some Chevrolets either from late-'80s or early-'90s, and many had been retrofitted with Budd wheels. It's not uncommon to see some old Chevy or Ford medium-duty truck with a rear axle easily identifiable as having been sourced from a wrecked Mercedes-Benz AGL, with the 3-point star on that cap at the rearmost part of the differential housing.
