I'd think that you're spending way too much money with those plans.

How is this any better than a rollback on an F350? I'd get a regular rollback, personally. The maneuverability of the NPR comes at a steep price. An F-350 or similar would probably be plenty. I had an E-350 box van with the 5.4. You'll want more engine for going down the highway.

Ideally, I'd think that an F-Super Duty (Basically an F-450) or a Chevrolet 3500HD (Same thing) would be overkill.



For the type of money, I'd take this truck:

Out here, an NPR will cost you about $10,000- even with high miles. I passed on a 1999 GMC 3500HD Cab and Chassis for $1500. In hindsight, I wish that I didn't. But, point being- I think that the NPR project would be more costly than you'd want, and would involve a lot more effort than needed.

Just my $0.02
