More seriously, there used to be a restored FC170 running around here that was pretty sweet.
I had a chance on a straight, "No Rust" FC 170 roller years ago for $500 and waited too long figuring out what to do with it, but it got me thinking about the cab forward 4x4 idea. A couple of years later it still stuck in my mind and I found a cheap Isuzu NPR and did some measuring. Some time later I had a 94 NPR with 2 1/2 ton steering axles front and back, basically a bolt in after moving the engine back. That truck went away before finishing, in the "divorce" from the woman from hell. Good riddance, wish I had the NPR.
