i started one of these projects last year with a 97 F800 diesel and my 93 crew cab long bed F350 i got as far as both cabs in my shop with the 350's windshield removed and all the marks for where i gotta cut the firewall and floor on both trucks. but then my 90's Chevy Topkick that my crane is mounted on decided to up and die (go figure, right?) so the F800 became the new crane... any way, the firewall and floor is different on the light and medium duty trucks. the floor pan is different to the back of the cab so there would have to be some grafting to make the floors fit. but then again, i had a 8.3L cummins and air brakes. but the 6.6 might take up less room, and if you have juice brakes you might just be able to use the f350s cab and dont need to worry about trying to clear the back of the engine im pretty sure a f600 is already set up for hydraulic brakes so you can probably just mount the f600s brake booster and master cylinder on your 350s firewall. good luck!

I had a chance to work on the Dually Project this past Saturday. My plan was to get it started, drive it out into the open and sit the bed on the frame. I had a hot pair of batteries, my charger for extra boost and 10 gallons of fuel. Played around with it for about 2 and half hours, got a lot of almost starts until the batteries got too weak. I let it charge for a while and checked a few things. It turns out, after doing an ohms check on the fuel shut off solenoid, it was bad. By this time the batteries are still low and it's getting to be too late to mess with it. SO I towed it to an open area and this is what you get with an F350 Dually Bed on an F600 frame.
