Hey, good luck bud and don’t settle for less looks to be in really good shape

[Joey Mack]

Thanks Bob.  I kept it maintained. The price is fair but others with less miles were listed at that price, but mine is very clean.. Happy Sunday...

[mowerman]

Yeah, happy Sunday to you. It seems like you just got that thing.

I put an engine in one of those, it had an exhaust brake (didn't work at the time and the owner didn't want to fix). What kind of fuel usage did the 4 cyl diesel give? I thought they would make a better service truck than the Superduty Fords I had.

[Joey Mack]

My exhaust brake works. It is also on during warm up til about 150 degrees or so. 11+ MPG. Its no powerhouse, .

Beats 6 mpg on a 6.9 Ford. Heck the L-10 semi would get 6. Just needs to get you where you needed to go. The less you spend getting to and from the job, the more that ends up in your pocket!

My 02 Npr / w4500 has a 5.7 small block. Easiest engine replacement we've ever done. Gotta love a cabover to work on.

I rebuilt a diesel like mine. Pulled it out with a skid steer and back in with it..  less than an hour each way..  yep, easy swap..

bought my Hino new in '93, best little workhorse ever. checked out the ford F-450 (?) . compared the hino to isuzu ; UD;  of the day .Hino few $ more but worth it. 4 cyl with exhaust brake which worked well. cabovers way better than ford/ GMC . turning radius ; length . had a custom built flat bed dump made for it. chassis  sat in my garage for a yr brand new waiting for me to build it. everyone else's iron came first; mine sat. sent it to Bobby Worden = excellent welder/ fabricator. difference from Hino vs my '77 F-350flatbed ;;; the ford was PTO hyd dump. Hino I went with electric  over hyd dump.

They were fairly popular with business buyers, where utility and MPG were the driving concerns. Not popular with the "macho" duelly pick-up crowd, that wanted to drive everywhere with 6 MPG. They were never "cheap" even used, they commanded some bucks at least when I was looking at them.

 A housing contractor I knew was looking for a truck for his son for the business vehicle, I suggested an NPR and the son had a fit, he wanted a Duelly pick-up and that is what they ended up with, but the NPR would have served the needs better and cost less to run.

[Joey Mack]

Yes sir.  The truck i sold was perfect for what i did with it. The tall 16' box held all the tools, spare parts, fluids, etc: I did a lot of big repairs from the back of that truck.. These young guys that want to look better then they can perform, doesnt mean anything to me. I did take less than my desired price, but the man handed me two stacks of banded bills. After a great test drive. He knew NPR's very well and was impressed.. thanks GW..

[mowerman]

Right on man that’s what I was afraid of tons of tons of tire kickers wasting your time. I was just looking at some leftovers 2024 Chevy duelers that popped up 75,000 without a bed for a leftover? Holy shit I get the looking cool thing but what you had there fits right in these days. Good deal I know I hate selling anything on a counter of it. Most people waste your time and they want it for free. Glad you made out OK.

I dont mind telling the truth. I paid 8K in Nov. 2016.... I sold it for 5K..

Only down 3k in 9 years not bad Jojo.I hate selling anything.We sold our 2 Hi lux pick ups and a Toyota Alteeza sports car to part fund the Mack.Talk about tyre kickers....guys offering less that half the asking price.I mean there always a bit of wriggle room on the price but less than half??? The guy who bought the Alteeza want his money back after 10 months because he cant get it through the yearly safety inspection.It passed 2 months before we sold it.Its clear he drove the bejasus out of it now hes had his fun he wants his money back!!!!He can F£€k right off.....

I really wanted 6K.  But 4 out of 8 guys offered 5K, so the first guy who put the cash in my hand wins.. all good.  Now I may try to sell my custom Harley..
