Check out the decal Austin. The D-18 looks like the D-17 diesel front half bolted to a what was to become a D-19 rear half. The picture looks like a 6 cylinder gaser. I thought that I read somewhere that fuel tank capacity was a issue and a larger fuel tank is likely the main reason for the taller D-19 sheet metal.

If you look in the D19 owners manual i belive that there are some close up pics of the D18. They have pictures of a non turbo charged diesel that i belive was the D18. Matt

Turbo needed room under the hood so they raised the sheet metal.

So in this picture...it is what would become the D-19 Gas engine. But this has the D17 Hoods, front shroud and the front weight that bolts to the powersteering would have been the D-17's

I also see that the D-18 has 38" rear wheels. Not many D-19's even had 38's. I have a D-17IV diesel with 14.9 x 38". They should all have been built that way.

Here are a couple of scans from an early D19 brochure (11/61). Here is a retouched photo of a D18 (with full-length hood decals added). Notice the lower hood line from the D17 hood and the smaller vertical gap between the decal and the horizontal "bump" that runs along the hood. This one is mentioned in Norm's book on Page 94.
Here is a second photo from the same brochure. This one has production sheet metal, but makes you wonder if the D18 designation was still used up until the last minute. Notice the "D19" designation scribbled in by hand.

So was the front axel on the D-18 like the one under the D-17 or D-19?

It probably would have had to have been the D-17 front axel...because of the bushing that goes into the front wieght thing... D-19 front axel prolly wouldnt fit in that.

The standard rear tire for a D-19 was 15.5 X 38.

the d18 would look like if you was to hook up a d17 to the d19 from the torquetube... or maby form the transmission
