Joey Mack Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I have a 2002 NPR with a 4HE1.. 16' insulated MIckey Body box with small barn doors.. 312,000 miles.. runs great, the whole truck functions great, and the A/C works too... I bought it for $8,000.00 11/15/2016.. You reckon I have a diamond in the rough...

66dc75 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I've got an 02 NPRHd too but 5.7 gas and 4l80e trans. Just had the trans rebuilt a couple of weeks ago at 250000 miles. Threw a used 50k mile engine in at 225k.I didn't want the deisel as a 5.7 small block is a whole lot cheaper to replace. I paid 2000 for the truck 6 years ago, 1000 for the ambulance body and 1800 for the bucket. This thing doesn't owe me anything. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73323-isuzu-drops-diesel-n-series-in-carb-states/#findComment-539019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBWhite Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 This got me thinking, why don't more people buy these? A brand new Isuzu F series comes with a 6.7 Cummins and an Allison transmission so you could make a heavy duty work truck without having to buy a dodge! You might even be able to snag one with a manual transmission. Sign me up! I'd put a bale bed and a caker on the back and have quite the cow rig 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73323-isuzu-drops-diesel-n-series-in-carb-states/#findComment-539048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

67RModel Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I'm pretty sure they you can get them in 4x4 too. Or maybe I'm thinking of a Mitsubishi Fuso, which is practically the same thing. Either way these trucks are rugged workhorses and very versatile.

I'd put a bale bed and a caker on the back and have quite the cow rig I think two reasons, One is they had a rep for parts prices being high, I never was on that end of things, so just repaired, and never saw the price of the parts. The real big reason I saw, was they "weren't cool, like a duelly pick-up chassie" Or "I wouldn't be seen dead in that termite head truck". Never mind the fact the cab had more room, they turned tighter, and had things like a engine brake from the factory. I looked to find a reasonable priced used one, but they were all more than I wanted to pay, Still, they were cheaper than other used trucks in their class. The lighter end of trucks never did all that well for sales as cabovers, The Ford C series is about the best known, but GM (or course the Mack N) and IHC cargostar were all low sales when compared to conventionals. Just think how many more Loadstar conventionals are still seen vs, the cabover version of the same (Cargostar). I think these were bought new by large companies, not O/O or small fleet, where the "looks" counted more to the buyer than the practicality.
