2010 Fuso FG on eBay

[Czechsix]

Looks like might have potential for a slide in, or a complete build. Pretty danged clean!

I've seen that one a time or two before. I still wonder what the original application was for that build. Maybe vending machine delivery?

What are your thoughts on the 2010 model? Still requires ULSD but no DEF, correct?

... I am actually looking at this truck, but I really prefer a 112" wheelbase over the 136"
That said, I have been reading tutorials on frame section removal, incorporating "step notch", "ship lap" or "Z channel" joining methods.
Here is one example: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=123624
Add to that effort a shorter drive shaft from the SWB Fuso FG, shorter brake lines, and a wiring harness mod, and it all looks very possible indeed.

I think you can also get frame repair sections that'll slide right into the C channel frames. Would make a cut/weld even easier, and still strong. I'd probably just get a local shop to shorten the driveshaft, rather than finding a stocker.
