I received my March issue today of the PWA. As usual, I am pleased to see it in the mailbox, but today, the presence of an article about W500s jumped out at me. I haven't read the whole article, which I intend to do later this evening, but for now I want to ask about the production dates mentioned in the article. Scott Glick, writer of the article, stated that the W500 was produced from 1957-1968. I owned a 1969 truck, which is shown in the picture, that was titled as a W500. This truck had previously been a Forest Service fire truck at Priest Lake, Idaho.
Was this actually a late 1968, that was sold and registered in 1969, or was 1969 actually the last year?
Interestingly the truck had no "Power Wagon" or "W500" badges on it, but it was equipped as any other W500.
