Thanks peter.
From what I can tell, this one is N/A, so not sure if it would have the power/torque for decent sized loads!

would depend on the weight of the truck and the gearing, also how many gears

jasongroves, May 10, 8:37am
5 speed, unsure of gearing but assume quite low.
From carjam:
Gross vehicle mass: 4,000kg
Tare weight: 2,000

Firm I work for hadone, done 800,000 before it dropped a valve, was all hot running, about 900 k a day, 7 days a week. A great wee truck

good engines, that one is non turbo, may be a bit gutless with a load but otherwise looks ok

He bought it in the end for around $11,500.
Good wee truck, but yeah a bit gutless.especially when previous vehicle was a 70 series Cruiser. Lol.
Will see how it gets on loaded up.
