a 5.9 powered F600 or larger truck is great. as long as you never put any weight in it. simply making it weigh 25k lbs to satisfy weight regulations as a crash attenuator truck will make it dangerous to pull out into traffic with. the 6.6 brazillian ford is way underpowered, and it is still a much better choice for an engine in a weight carying truck than the turd 5.9 is.

off big engines for a question

the 450 and 550 trucks tend to be geared more for load pulling than fuel economy. -
while they used a "pickup style cab" a pickup cab will not work with out modifications. different steering column position through the firewall, different cab mount holes, different pedal assembly, different wiring harness, and a few other differences. they can be made to work with about 5-6 hours modification though.
-
the cabs are close, but not quite the same. but yes a lund visor from a pickup will work. and they were availably with the 6.6 and 7.8 Ford six cylinders along with the Cat engines.

looks good. except the piktur was posted bass ackwards, cause the steering wheel thingy is on the wrong side of the truck!!!
-
welcome to the site. whenever that happened on our trucks, it was a sign the bushings were wore out and needed replacing.
-
ain't the trucks down under thick with green leakers? maybe one of our down under fellers can post up some specs

i keep on hearing the snowflakes cry for impeachment of trump and want their beloved criminal hitlery put in office like she truly deserves because trump"stole" the election. even though hitlery all but admitted on national tv to rigging the primaries so she would win and bernie would loose, and also rigging the election so trump would loose. but not one peep about her misdoings. just IMPEACH TRUMP!! funny thing is, the only thing the can possibly impeach Trump for is not being a carrier c̶r̶i̶m̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ i mean politician

all good brother. and my brain don't work when it gets hot neither. anything over 26C and i start to melt. my perfect temps are between 10 and 15 C. up until it became over 55 i did not even put on a long sleeve shirt until it got below 4 or 5C
-
Swishy, your math is a bit off. 42C is only 107.6F 117F is 47.2C

Vlad, if it is winter and 117 degrees F, i sure as hell do not want to know how hot it gets in summer!!!
-
not sure, but i think he said "get yo butt to da doktor"!!

common cents now costs $4.95. and people are too cheap to pay that much money for it.
-
the dump control could have loosened up and gone out of adjustment too. every 6 months or so i have to adjust the cable on my control valve to keep it centered.

Fran Ryan.i remember her from her tv appearances. how his six shooter holds 39 bullets: very easy. it is a tv gun that has automatic cylinder reloaders.

the worst part about the whole thing was that when it was all said and done, the meat was still undercooked.
-
maybe because we were not in such a big hurry back then. remember when you were hot snot if you had a 285 HP and a 10 or 13 speed?
