For Sale: 10Tire-DAF 95 430 (Chassis Body)
I bought the 10-tire truck being advertised January this year (2011) as Tokunbo. It came with a refrigerated (cold room) body which did not serve the purpose for which it was purchased because many things were wrong with the cold room body. Bottom line, I have removed the body and I’m putting the vehicle up for sale. It has been lying unused since July 2011. I am selling just because I sincerely don’t have the energy for truck business right now as I am currently occupied with other things, so it is of no economic benefit for the truck to sit unutilized.
That said, this work horse that has barely done six months on the road since I purchased it is as good as the way it came. Engine runs superbly. I have even gone the extra mile of converting the balloon suspensions it came with to full spring as our roads demand. I have also changed the injector to the more manageable smaller size for fuel economy and lower cost of replacing T-element. The gear, brakes and air system answer like new. All gauges light up fully and work to the minutest precision.
