Sad to see OP hasn't risen to the challenge and bought the bread truck yet   Sounds like it would really be a recipie for spousal strife.  Shipping may be difficult but it looks like it still rolls.  Still though anyway you slice it this thread has been educational.   Give it some time for AAZCD to let the idea bake and we may still get the proof that we knead.  

This is the best thing since sliced ...

This thread delivers!  Or perhaps it might, one day.

Do we really knead to continue these puns?

We don't need to do it, we just love deliveries, vehicles and apparently bread is nice too.

It was a half baked idea to begin with. Although I have plenty of dough there's already too much on my plate and I don't really knead it. I thought of raising a trade for one of my projects, but the seller would probably think I'm am short bread and too flaky.

I love bread, puns, and old campers--Tim's dad converted one of these into a homebuilt class C back in the day, complete with wood-fueled heating courtesy of a fully working miniature potbellied wood stove that had been a salesman's sample--so, yes, this thread delivers. Also, my spouse would kill me, too... but I want it. Sadly, I'm afraid all I have are half-baked ideas for what to do with it.

I was initially concerned my thoughts would be au Pain if added to the mix.  I'm glad to see they have enriched the conversation.  Taken individually naan of the negatives of this purchase seem to much of a pita but together they really damper enthusiasm to bring this one home.   It's a hard tack to take but I really think you should lavash your attention on your other projects.

Rise to the occasion, you know you knead this thing. Quit loafing!

Looks simple enough that you could fix everything that's wrong with just a croissant wrench. But I guess a vehicle can be too crusty even for GRM.

If the seller will trade for a Boxster or a beetle.. You could get a storage van and a garage out of the deal.

That drivetrain is worth the asking price even if it isn't running. Those 4BT are getting thin on the ground. 

That was an unmentioned part of my attraction to it. High torque, good mpg, 4 cyl inline diesel, pre-DEF. Before I stepped back, the seller said he's going to work on it this evening to see if he can get it running.

But my reality is that I have all the really cool projects that I can handle right now.

They swap nicely into an early Bronco too.

A croissant wrench?  I didn't know these things were French!
