Howdy guys, nice lookin work truck Dean, I will admit I expected the 650 to be a little bigger

Just struggling through my last day of work here and then off for 6-8 weeks, forecast looks awesome so I should be able to find something to do to get me into trouble

When i worked at Kramer they had Three F650 service trucks, the techs hated them because they rode like bale wagons, the C7 is underpowered for the weight of the truck.
