The Isuzu NPR is the plastic stackable chair of vehicles; entirely overlooked, and yet utterly indispensable. The most interesting thing about an NPR is not the truck itself, but what it’s carrying. And that’s the whole point.
Cue thirdwigg’s Isuzu NPR glass truck, notable in real life only because it carries glass. Working steering, an inline-4 engine, and a tilting cab feature, with more to see – including a link to building instructions – via the link.
This is an Isuzu NPR, and they are everywhere. Box trucks, tipper trucks, recovery trucks, chiller trucks, cherrypickers, and – today – hook-lifts. This excellent Technic version of the ubiquitous NPR comes from TLCB Master MOCer Thirdwigg, and not only features a working hook-lift mechanism but a host of other hand-operated functions too, including an inline-4 engine under a tilting cab, ‘HOG’ steering, and opening doors and tailgate.
Building instructions are available should you wish to create it for yourself and you can find more imagery and information at Thirdwigg’s ‘Isuzu NPR’ album here, you can read his Master MOCers interview here at TLCB via the link above, and you can find a few other Isuzus (mostly NPRs) that have been recreated in brick form at the A-Z of Trucks here.
