F650 Pickup?!?!

[Sticks]

I was coming home from work last night and I pulled up behind what looked like a lifted F350 dually, with the Big truck mirrors and 19. 5 rims. After the light went green, I get over to the next lane and low an behold,:--) Someone took a F650, and dropped a Dually pickup box on it, and if I didn't know better, I would say it was a shortbed too. Maybe the HUGE cab and hood just made the bed look small.



I couldn't get next to the guy long enough to get him to pull over, to find out the important thing... CTD or PSD. I am leaning towards Cummins. He was running 5" and sounded sweet, and just did not sound like he was PSD'd. After all, Cummins is an option on the Fords after you hit the F600 series. I will take the camera with me tonight and hope the guy is a regular commuter, I may take a stroll down the street where he turned off to see if I can find it again.

Several companies (Fontaine comes to mind) make towing beds for the F-450 and up that look just like a stock Ford pickup box. I suspect that's what he was running.

Did it look something like this?

If so, this one is a custom built rig. And in case you're wondering, it's powered by a CAT.

The Cat that powers the 650 has over 800 foot pounds of torque in stock trim.

I have a picture saved on my computer at home that came from Diesel Innovations website that is a black F650 with a regular dually bed. I'll post it when I get home.

There's a royal blue F-650 running around my area that looks like it came factory with a dually bed. The bed must fit on the short wheel base F-650 just right. He had stock wheels on it and the duallies looked great. Now he has big fat singles on it. I don't think it looks nearly as good.

GM Top-kicks look good with dually beds too!

The truck in the link above is powered by a Powerstroke w/ 5 Speed Allison 2000

Sure be neat with a Cummins option. Just think, no GVWR problems! Only problem is that my camper would sit about 15-ft tall!

Here are some pics that our webmaster over on KYDTR shared with us.

I don't care what the specs are on that cat engine, I had the privledge <sic> of tearing apart a 3116 and a 3126 this semester at school, I'd NEVER one one in a million years, talk about a nightmare of a fuel system. Anyone else have the privledge of trying to get a cat fuel system to prime after it's run dry?

No, but we are running about 25-30 Cat 3126's. Some with 100k+ miles in 12-18 months of HARD inner city/ urban fire service (read start go hard, stop, run har, shut down) with NO problems.
