Being only an F350 I wonder how well it would handle a full size rig?

That said, I've had mine cross the scale at over 12,000 lbs (loader operator error) but the truck handled it well with the overloads just barely touching the pads.
It would handle it, no problem.

I didn't upgrade the suspension and it can handle a '53-'56 F100 pickup with no problem. Honestly, most of the time a truck like this will be rolling around empty.
I could have built this an F600 chassis with a larger bed but didn't want to ride around in an F600.Driving around an F350 is a real enjoyable ride.
I have been using it around the yard to move things and would not be upset if it stayed around for a while.

Nice looking truck. That would be fun to have. Gotta get my truck finished before I can look at anything like that though....well and get my wife a house overlooking water somewhere.....
What gearing does the rear end have?
Is that a high fan mount water pump? I didn't think they had those for the larger Y-blocks??

That's actually nicer than my f600 was at the start, and it came out beautiful
