So, which weighs more, the truck, less motor+trans, or the motor+trans??:):)
If that spicer is out of big truck/equipment, I imagine you had to move transfer case waaaay back to get it hooked up to the spicer??

A flatbed...................? Why not keep the body Ford. Might be a perfect match for a 9' F 350 bed. What is your "CA" (cab to axle measurement)?

Eben That thing sounds SO nice!!

I agree a flatdeck is useless for hauling just about anything. You have to strap everything down. Do you have the fridge box?
