'63 D500

Post by Donas »

Howdy,

Brand new to the forums, and brand new to these trucks!

I had an A-100 with a swapped in 340 years and years ago, but now am thebproud new owner of a D500 stake truck newly christened "Big Blue".

I purchased it on eBay, and while the overall condition was pretty grossly misrepresented, nothing on it is so complicated that it can't be repaired or replaced. Yes I got it pretty cheap oh, so I'm not really griping about it too much.

I'm looking forward to seeing what other people are working on as I cruise through the forums, and digging into the knowledge base when I have issues that I can't figure out between my own experience and a shop manual.

Ill post a pic from home once I shrink the file size down.

Cheers!
Tommy

Awesome way to mix it up with the blue and white color combo. Great looking truck, pal!
