Nice rig!

We've been researching fuso's ever since we sold our sportmobile. Finding a good platform to build on has be a real challenge. There's a lot of data to take in...

I have a few questions, I hope they aren't totally ignorant. A lot of our research has been focused on 2003-2007 Fusos (seem to the recommended year for conversion but very hard to find).


-Does this model require DEF?

-I've read about the FG140's having a short wheelbase and long wheelbase. Longer being I believe in the 133" range, do know if the B72 has a SWB and LWB variant, and if so which one would this be?

-Rust. I've heard east coast is tough on these FG's... Have you had a chance to thoroughly inspect the frame for rust? Pictures on this front could be helpful.

- Is the engine 4cyl 4P10 turbo diesel w/ 6spd auto?

-Does it have a Hi/Low 4x4?



Thanks again!

We're in Oregon, pretty far away but for the right platform we'd make the trip!.

Maybe if you’d answer the questions from MXPXER7 on 07/06/23 someone might take you up on your offer of 10%??? It must have been an errant oversight.
