  1. Have thought about it, but in my mind the rear overhang behind the tire would hit the ground before achieving the height to "dump " off. You would also be 17 or 19 feet tall if you use a standard style rollback bed. You could probably custom build something shorter. I have saw some hook lift style trucks that had different beds to switch between them.
  2. Ford is doing the F600 4x4 with gvwr heavier than F550. If $ not an issue, I have seen a Freightliner 33,000 gvwr 4x4 as well. Only issue I saw was deck height.
  3. Thanks , Nothing like real world hands on usage to show what something is capable of!
  4. Just a few thoughts- (my opinions and thoughts) 1) Deck height - older ones I have been around - 4' give or take a few inches - under 13'6" here to be legal 2) Empty weight - I operated one that was around 19,000 empty on single axle ( gas engine / steel hd deck) 3)Decking Steel = durable but not super friendly with steel tracks Wood - I like better for steel tracks but have broken /cracked had to replace. 4) Air brakes (possible CDL license over 26,000 gvwr here)) cheaper to work on than older hydraulics -
  5. Thanks, the email reminded me I need to stop in here more often.
  6. Ford made a 534 cid. The smaller was a 477 I think
  7. If I was worth 1/3 on what you think I am, we both could retire ! You have tried your way, now it is my turn.
  8. On a side note, Just take a moment to place them safely. There have been a few grass / brush fires started from flares not staying on the roadway around here.
