   I had a 2000 Isuzu NPR. Best truck for work I ever owned. Living in California made me sell it. I am retired now and didn’t need such a beast. What made me really sell it is that by 2014, these diesels will have to be repowered with new engines which will meet the smog rules. Also, in California, any trucks 10,000GVW and over have to register with the highway patrol and stop at scales. They would pull this Willys into one of their large sheds and go over it with fine toothed comb. Your vehicle looks good. You could get a lot more $ for it if you did the 4WD conversion. The only HD diesel cab-forward truck which has factory 4WD is the Mitsubishi Fuso. It is a beast also, but has a $45k price tag. Good luck and thanks for the post.

   Dave-

   This is the FC that we saw at Jesse’s FC Roundup on Saturday. Took a lot of work to get everything to fit, but it is definitely unique!!!

   This FC truck started out as a complete FC-170, the Cab and original frame, was that of the very nice white FC-170 Postal flatbed truck that I had last year, it belonged to Dave M. Who died at a young age of Cancer, This truck was sold new in AZ and it has no Cancer, it is actually a pretty nice cab.
   What is all to important is that it is currently registered as an FC historic vehicle, it is not registered as an IZUZU.
   Because it is currently registered as such it will be looked at by any law enforcement agency as an FC-170 DRW, that has been repowered with an IZUZU.
   About being 4×2, Adams intent was to buy a divorced NP-205 from me and any purchaser can easily find a late model Dana 60 or 70 disc Front end, then add 8 to 6lug adapters for the 6 lug wheels.
   I think it is a great looking start to a good work truck, with an early body.

   I owned a Mitsubishi Fuso FG 439 from 1992 to 2009. Damned fine truck. I sold it at 125,000 miles for $12,500 because I needed a bigger truck. There was nothing wrong with it, it drove like new. What is wrong with me!!!
