You gotta be kidding me. A Cat 3408 in a F-450, F-550, F-650?
The last 3408 I saw was in a 988B I bot brand new. You can check what a CAT 988B loader can do. The s/n of the machine I bot was 50W 4001.

This was years ago, but I will tell you that none of the trucks mentioned above could haul the engine. I vividly remember the machine bot was produced on a Friday in a strike year, and blew its nose after two weeks against a high wall.

We all have visions. Maybe you meant a 3208.
