My American brain doesn’t even know what to do with that cap.

No kidding. It looks like its backwards, but the front is flush with the cab. It just looks odd.

That might be the most manual truck I’ve seen since my 1990 isuzu.

lotsa camping I believe is his intent.

He reports it even has a heat exchanger that allows for hot camp showers!

That’s so awesome. I was wondering if those pipes up top were for fishing pole storage.

Seriously I want to do a “most manual” thread, but I don’t have photos of the interior of the isuzu on my phone. It doesn’t even have intermittant wippers, you have to push the button on the dash over and over again if the low speed is too fast.

seems a reasonable guess. sounded like the prior owner used it mostly for camping also. my brother also works in construction, so likely will be using it for pickup truck like activities more so than the last owner.

petrol. much to his sadness. he said finding a diesel in similar condition was ~$4000 more.

Ha, better than walking!

I like the tray, you don’t see many on this side of the ocean unless they are made of lumber..

which is odd. I always thought the removable/replaceable tray was a great idea for trucks that get used. chuck rocks in it all day and when its thrashed get a replacement. Not so easy with the pretty integrated parts that most US trucks get.
