I'm not sure of the wheelbase, or axle ratio yet, but, yeah, it's painted white. I'm figuring it has the 5.86:1s, or steeper.

 

In order to purchase? Sweet...

 

Well, just wanted to test drive a big job with the V10 and steep gearing. Found two F-650s with V10s. These trucks are HUGE! And they have the longer wheelbase sans a body. I jumped up on the driver's side fuel tank, and took a peek inside the cab. These two trucks are F650 straight frame jobs with the 22.5" wheels/tires. I'd be a little weary of taking a $58,000 long wb out for a mere test drive...if the dealership allows such things. I'm hoping they get a 158" wb job in. I'd be more comfortable driving it. Easier to make turns with, plus I could get a feel for how well a V10 will pull with really steep cogs. I've driven F-450s with the 4.88:1s, but nothing steeper than that. Fred Beans Ford of West Chester,Pa. has one, and the one I saw today(up close) is at Bergey Ford in Ambler,Pa. According to their dealerconnection webpage, they should have 4 more F650 V10s, and 2 diesel F650s(probably on order due in). On the plus side, supposedly one V10 truck is the short 158" wheelbase version. Hopefully, I'll get a test drive in it.
