Actually an F-550 has the same cab as the 250/350. Of course with the 550s though you can have huge flatbeds and such on them

6.4 internals

I was at a truck supplier show and saw a 6.4 short block and was impressed with the size of the internal parts, rods, crank, bed cap, block, and so on. The engine internals look like they could handle huge amounts of power. I think International and Ford have a winner on their hands.

I'd agree with this.

When do you get your rig, JT? Must only be days now. By the way, the Super duty's are 99% American iron- the rear electrics are made in Mexico says the sticker. I'll be peeling that off before my chevy driving friends see that one

That'd be pretty tough not to get to drive it. Nah, I have to keep idiots from killing each other and destroying stuff during the Columbus Day parade tomorrow... I guess everyone needs something to protest these days.
