Lateef ◊ 2013-07-29 14:29	Indeed, that seems correct. Until now, I was only familar with the original T 330. According to this 1965 brochure, they still had the old front fascia, and this newer front fascia seems to have been introduced in 1966. In this 1968 brochure, there's one virtually identical to this one, and the plate appears to read T something FD. I think the T-FD designation was standard for all Fuso dump trucks of the era. Here's a T800F, so I guess the D in the name denotes the Diesel version. I suggest naming as 1966 Fuso T 800 F, -- Last edit: 2013-07-29 14:43:59
