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...

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.

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!

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.
