Got the Unimog look with the "normal" axles. Pretty sweet. And WAY cooler than something new.

Oh man that's not even close to expensive either. It looks like 2wd though. I wish it was 4wd

We'll, it is 4WD, they're just all in the rear! smiley

That's one clean and good looking rig.

As long as you aren't in any sort of hurry, most of these have an 80hp NA 4cyl diesel.  They are cool though

Damn. The money on trucks anymore has my head spinning. That said, this seems cheap in the current [insane] economy.

I really wish Ford would do something like that with the current Transit.  Would be nice to have a full size pickup with an 8 foot (or longer) bed in a shorter overall package than an equivalent F150.

Speaking as someone who dislikes full size trucks and resents their proliferation.......

 

I really, REALLY want that.

You could get a cutaway and add a flat bed. OldOpelGuy was doing that, not sure if he ever shared images of the completed version. I want one too.

Yup, I've even priced out the chassis cabs, and looked into the aftermarket beds, which I've noticed are a bit more opaque in pricing.  It'd be nice if someone would sell a crew-style 4 door chassis cab.  I suspect that, plus an 8-9' bed would be about as long as an F250 crew with a 6.5' bed.

Speaking as I guy that had always used trucks... I agree with both your statements!

The bro dozers and mall crawlers give us truck users a bad rep!

Well how hard is it to drop in a Mercedes 300 six gas engine?

Or rock crawl your neighbors' houses for <$5k.
