The humble Ford D series

I haven’t seen much devoted to the D series on the forum.
I had alot to do with them back in the late 70’s early 80’s and I have to say that I liked them.

My old Dad had alot to do with them from day one and his experiences with the early ■■■■■■■ engines fitted in them put him off ■■■■■■■ for life!

What memories do you have of them and how many pics can we find got to post of them.
Any six wheel tippers would be especially welcome.

Cheers
Mark
