[QUOTE="B.Warning, post: 1066693, member: 874"] I'm beginning to think I need to start considering a medium duty truck. (Local dot says the same) I'm not going to spend huge money on a super truck or anything of that nature but finding a 99+ f650 crew cab. Frame length doesn't matter as I can cut it down or lengthen it for that matter. Couple questions... 4x4... would I be better off to convert one or buy one already done. I see the 4500 and 5500 gm trucks just use a d70 steer axle yet Ford uses some monstrosity of a setup in there's. Ride... why couldn't I remove some leaf springs to soften the ride yet still be fully capable of what I plan on using it for. Gearing... Between the axles and trans gearing what's a comfortable cruising speed for these trucks. Tires/wheels...Most likely I'd ditch the duals and run super singles with a aggressive 385/65/22.5 tire. Bed... Of course it would have a flatbed of some sort. Interior... I'd ditch whatever it had in favor of black leather. Motor... The most common options are a 5.9 cummins or a little cat motor. I know all about the 5.9 but nothing about the little cat. Which one is better? [/QUOTE]
