looking to buy a rollback.

Would a F650 be my best choice? Any ideas on a configuration would be most appreciated, Thanks.

I am sorry they now call it The Pro loader pkg insted of low pro
The engine that is in my truck is the cat 7.2 with 300 hp Always go with the exaust brake too it will cost an extra $900.00 but it will save on brakes in the long run. The trani number is ES066-7B Thats a spicer 7 speed with OD. With the suspension go with th 18,000 Lbs self leveling manual air dump setup. A 3.73 axel will do you good. and a price for the chassie is about 56,000. Chevron beds cost about 1,500.00 a foot for the bed so about 90,000 but there are alot of rebates out there right now so look to pay no more than 80-85,000 for a truck I juat bought mine and I only paid 86,000 for a full loaded xlt with leather and all the goodies plus a 22 foot chevron bed with the best lighting package and a back saver wheel lift if you have anymore questions just ask

Always go with the airshift PTO as you will already have a compresor on the truck for the air ride and brakes

If you call Chevron they can put the entire package together for you. You often save money by buying the chassie your self and having it delivered to chevron. Thats they way I went
