New 70 series to be retrofitted (1 Viewer)

Grabbed these photos this morning on the drive in to work. A whole pile of new 70 series pickups at a company in Auburn, AL that reworks these for overseas duties.

I didn't know they still produced these with factory split rims. Interesting.

Jim, Did you ask if they would take a 60 Series on trade?

Most all General Specification 7x trucks are still on splits.

Not sure they'd go for it because my 60 is worth one of the new 70s + one of the new Hiluxes they sometimes bring in

So depressing that they're sitting here stateside only to be sent away. Thanks for the pics though

Definitely not V8 diesel models, but with snorkels they must be 1HZ

Did you know they made the new 7* series look like square blocks so 60 series owners would feel at home?

I'm confident that @Godwin has access to venomous snakes (he probably keeps a few in his 60 Series glovebox) and he doesn't live very far from me so I'm not even going to touch the above statement.

What are they doing to them? Adding armor?
You should ask for a tour and then write an article for Trails.

A couple years ago in PI I got a tour of the place that makes all those wooden airplane models that sit on peoples desks, wooden beer mugs and wooden mil plaques. Best day at work ever.
