K17 Ford D800 low loader
Just had to get the kings started with the amber light low loader and very early casting(which I will try and show the differences soon). J

I was unaware of a yellow beacon for this model. What model does the beacon come from or is this color molded just for the low loader?
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Hi Jason,
I noticed that the model is without any windows. Any chance someone may have slipped in an amber light from a K-2? Bout the same size if I remember.
Certainly hope I'm mistaken.

Hi Jeff the model has clear windows, I think this is the very first run as it has many early casting details. Also a lot of artwork shows the amber light on this model. I will try and sort out photos.

Many thanks for proving that I am in fact legally blind. Hope the photos load. I look forward to seeing them.
Excellent model.

Re: K17 Ford D800 low loader
A K-2, of course (two amber beacons)! I knew it was probably from a model already using this beacon. I'd love to find one of these early castings. Any would make me happy; no beacon, amber beacon, clear windows or early casting details).Lrrp59 wrote:Hi Jason,
