They made one in the late 70's early 80's but only sold them overseas....not the U.S.(I think) A friend of mine in Costa Rica had one, turbodiesel column shift 4 speed, turbo removed at some point, rusted to hell but ran strong...not sure of the motor though 4 or 5 cyl maybe? Anyone else hear of these? Looked kinda like a 220d with a pickup bed...

MB Tempo division makes MB trucks and have made with OM 616/617 turbo and non turbo engines, lots of them were sold in India. Till today you can see the Tempo Trax running with 30 passengers or 4 ton load on the poor OM 616 engine.

I was just looking at Dodge Sprinters last night.. man they aren't cheap.

But if I could talk my wife out of $40k I'd buy one and get rid of the Chevy Astro.
