I'm looking at a diahatsu delta truck tommorrow as my new work truck
its done a few miles 560k but engine and gbox seem to run very well (3.0l diesel 5 speed) the price seems right has a bit of rust but has a 16 ft beaver tail alloy tray(great for carrying vw's)
anyone here had any dealings with these or any advice?

Hows the full house going fella?,we used to have the same, Delta that is,it clocked up well over 600thou klms when we sold it and it was still running strong as but the cab was falling apart with rust.It was a tipper also we now have a Toyota Dyna which is now where as good as the old Delta.Cheers Carl

i got a mate who has an old delta and apart from the rather annoying lack of good steering and the fact that the brakes lock up when there is nothin in the tray and its fairly rusty it seems to go fairly well.............:thumb
