W500 parts

[KRB64]

712edf, I know you and another fellow have an old W500. here's a potential parts truck up in Wyoming. Its a D but body should be the same right?

Speaking of which, any recent pictures/updates?

Thanks.
Yes the D500 has same body/cab as my W600. I can't tell by the description if the truck in the auction has the longer 175" wb. That's about the only thing I'm lacking, is getting a longer frame to transfer my drivetrain over to. I have confined my searches to a closer area, simply because it's outrageous to transport these beast very far.
I suppose I could use my W500 frame (it's 175"), but it would require some fab work.

You want a longer truck?

[712edf]

Yes. 157" wheelbase looks like a "bobbed".
And I should add my current W600 frame is rather rusty. The truck was originally a (Canadian?) plow truck with salt/sand spreader. So I would like to upgrade to a cleaner & longer frame.
