.........THIRD photo was used for scale.

not for the price tag. You can buy a full sized van for what one of those cost.

Kind of sissy-ish if you ask me

They kinda remind me of the old UMC Aeromate trucks. They were front wheel drive also.

The Aeromate used a Chrysler minivan drive train, which had it's own set of problems for a work truck, but the aluminum body lasts forever.

You would have to be a large plumbing company having several trucks that only do certain things. There is no way you could put a little of everything on one of those. Maybe a camera/ sewer truck? It would look better if it were wrapped.

find a used astro it has more room if your looking for smaller then full size.

I could never see anyone using that thing as a full service vehicle, you couldn't carry crap for stock of all of your drain machines including a sewer machine. It would be nice if you specialized in one specific field, like backflow testing.
