GENERAL INFO

The 6C Euclid Quarry Truck took over the quarry truck series under number 6. Released in August 63, the first box, a D2 “NEW MODEL” one, shows the model in yellow with smooth inner front wheels and recessed rear wheels. The #6 is short but large. It was replaced by another D2 box and this time, the #6 is taller and narrower. This variation does not have the NEW MODEL on end flaps and came in three different top/bottom color schemes.

The E3 box shows the yellow model with “regular” wheels on both front and rear.

All boxes for this model are size 4.

RARITY

The E3 box is harder to find tan any D boxes, but it is not considered all that scarce. The NEW MODEL D2 box is the less common of the D boxes.
