Here's few pics of my 86 W460 SWB. This one has the 662A turbo Diesel engine and 6 speed manual box. Great off and on road driving. Seats done in Napa leather by some fella in Bristol area. Stainless exhaust with side exit. Some of you might find pics of interest.

Re: My SWB 460

very good looking truck and I like the leather.

what sort of mpg are you getting from that engine/gearbox set up ?

with the 606 and 5 speed auto on your old 463 I'm getting low 20s unless I make a real effort to drive for economy.

 Very nice alround - do you know who did the leather work?  Bristol is close ...

Tiny - I'm running around the 30 mpg on this engine/gearbox. Surprised at your figure for the 606. I have similar fuel consumption on a 606a LWB with 6 speed manual. Does around 30 to 35 mpg.
