What does your super duty weigh?
I have a new to me 08 f350 SRW 5.4 with an enclosed Knapheide service body. Fully loaded with me in it, she comes in at 7980. Seems like a lot and I’m toying with removing the service body and going with a regular bed and tool cap. I’m coming from an f150 4.2 that weighs in at 6400 with the same tools. I still have it and could use the cap.
The truck does just fine and it’s a massive upgrade over the f150 but I figured I can shed 800-1000lbs with the swap. Not sure if it’s worth the hassle. I love the setup but would like to occasionally tow a 10-14k equipment trailer, too and that seems like a lot of stress on the ol’ girl.
Any thoughts?

If the truck is a cab and chassis build it will have a different frame than a pickup and a regular pickup bed will not just swap over without some extra work. And the cab and chassis trucks have different cab to axle lengths than the pickups.

Wow. That’s not far off. I feel pretty good now. 😂
