Wow Dave, that is a beautiful D 17. I can't wait to see it some day. Your old Ford still looks good too. I remember at the Pontiac GOTO, we all liked listening to the 7.3 and wanted to buy it off you. lol Tim ------------- 1950 WD 1959 D14 1955 WD45 1976 7000 B 207 |

I was not around when the Series IV D-17 came out. Closed in 1962. That is a real clean D-17 Series IV. Hard to believe the age. Nice looking truck and trailer. Would have LOVED to have had them when we were selling. The transportation and hauling equipment today is outstanding. Good Luck! Bill Long

WOW Dave, that is quite a find!! Sure hope you didn't steal it out of my back yard. I've been wanting a Series IV. Wheels and rims don't look original? TOO clean and whitish/ivory colored. That was WELL taken care of! Are you the second owner? Which forum member did you meet? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
