GENERAL INFO

Produced for the first time late in the E box era, the 58C is only available in that type in E4R boxes. Two variations exist: with and without the NEW MODEL on end flaps. The end flaps show “D.A.F. GIRDER TRUCK”. The size is 7.

The E box offers an extra view that shows the girders assembled together.

The F2 box came in two different bottom letterings: “ALP” and “LPC”. In all cases, the end flap closers display “TM”. F boxes are size 6.

RARITY

Although this model has no rare boxes for it, the “LPC” F2 box is less common.
