| Looks great! I've never even driven a D15 gas, not to mention a diesel. I was just wondering if all the diesels had the battery box there on the fender. I assume that's a second battery? Did D15 diesels have 2 twelve volt batteries in a parallel circuit, or two big six volt batteries in series? |

Beautiful work Don! I had a chance to buy a 1963 D15 II diesel, but I went for this 1966 gasser instead. I have it around 70% restored and still pushing. It should be as good as yours sometime in the summer...  ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |
