Normally them overloads have couple inches or better clearance "unloaded", naturally the tool boxes and trailer rails bring it down a tad but still wouldn't think it be on the OL yet.
The rail system spreads its load on the truck pretty evenly too though, might even be more load on front axle then rear with nothing loaded on it.

it's likely the odo has rolled once or twice,or........
diesel oil always looks like its overdue for a change,right after you changed it.
you don't want to use this truck for off pavement use,which includes but not limited to;
muddy roads,snow,ice,loose deep sand,wet grass,even try to avoid cigarette butts in the road to avoid spinning.
you don't want to use this truck for;
driving empty,going anywhere that doesn't pay in general.her low gearing will drink the fuel at the rate of a f350 460 gas hog.
the $.
you have to remember this is no f150 with a gas engine to drive around empty in.this ones a f450 rated to tow and haul a house.a real money maker.empty,this truck probably weighs in at two and half f150's.
she can move such a load in one trip,that it would take all day for an f150 to move in several trips.
the engine like sitting in this one,has been known to go upwards of a half a million miles + (yes, literally.the cummins is not alone in diesel legend ) before a rebuild in some cases.
have to agree.her frame sure looks great too.a little surface rust is about it.if it all looks like that,she's ready for a couple hundred thousand more miles,perhaps with an engine and trans or two along the way.
