There were a fair number of those trucks either unconverted or not converted in an especially sophiticated manner in southern africa in the early '90s.
None of the ones I rode in were good for more than 80 kph, and usually that was only going downhill.
Just realised the you have to register to view the Benzworld photos. Take the time and do it, great 'Mog discussions there and some good G-Wagen and Sprinter stuff, too.
here's a W124 in norway-

That reminds me: a the W123/124/116(?)and 126 chassis were somewhat common as a basis for ambulances and herses in Germany. Might have to hop on German e-bay and see what the '83 & older ones are going for.
I'm working on a camper roughly the same dimentions as the RUF FUSO.
Another thing about large windows- in addition to security concerns- it makes the layout of the interior much more demanding. At the moment, mine has 5x 8" port holes (from a marine shop), and if I need to rearrange the...
Exactly what I was thinking. :REOutArchery02:
How about: IL, MN, WI, IN, OH, MI.
TX, LA, etc.- beautiful places but being lumped in with them doesn't make a lot of sense.
The Dakotas could just well fall the the NW chaper, or how about a Great Plains section or somthing?

Fuso website says max GVW is 14,000, max GCWR (Gross Combined) is 17,000
so supposedly you could put a 8000lb body on the 6000lb cab/chassis and still tow 3000lbs safely.:Wow1:
Once again, I'm going to jump ahead in line of the actual FG owners around here to say that trucks in the catagory are usually capable of getting large heavy objects (bigger than you're talking about) up to 60mph or so without undue stress on the drivetrain and usually have adaquate braking...
good picture, here's the drawings anyway:

fitting a crew cab to a FG chasiss instead might be possible.
Haven, do you know- do the standards for late-model medium duty trucks- the ones that keep them out of the U.S., pertain mainly to...
I'm sure someone will provide a more detailed explanation, but the simple answer is "not even close".
One reason the FG has doesn't sell very well in the first place is the stepped frame which limits the number of applications it can be easily adapted to.
