1987 Welmade W70 Platinum

27.3k Rymanx03  2 days ago

The year? 1987. You're looking for a new truck, not too big for your city's streets but can still pull its weight for your business.

There are a few options, but one catches your eye. Welmade's all-new W-Series truck line, designed for the middle ground of trucks, and built for the best.

So, why does this one stand out? Is it the fully redesigned 6 cylinder turbo-diesel under the hood, with smooth power delivery? Or is it the comfortably designed interior, loaded with all of the fixings? Whatever your desires, Welmade has you covered with the W- and the optional Platinum package!

*On a final note...

I've made this truck (/truck series) for reaching platinum. Yes, it was a while ago, and yes it may only be getting posted now, but for two good reasons. Firstly, I wanted to take my time with this one and get it right. Considering this is a big milestone, it doesn't make sense to just take 30 seconds for a goofy little post and call er there. So, any time where I lost my idea on it, I took a step back and tried something different for a bit (ie, the Antarctic, or playing a different game altogether). Reason 2, I went ahead and tried a bunch of different features for some ungodly reason. For example, the windows, armrest and glove box. Were they necessary? Not even slightly. Do they add to the build? I like to think so.

So, I hope you all enjoy my idea of putting in way too many features for the fun of it, and thank you all for an interesting (almost) 8 years.
