It's also a whole lot better truck than the f series ford and has alot more options. You can buy used ones cheap and have the frame shortened, just an idea.

Thanks Monty,

That's the main reason I went Ford. The international rides like a dump truck whereas the F-650 rides really nicely on air. I love the Peterbilts and Kenworth's much more and would be very interested to know if you can do 4 wheel drive in them.

Chris, PM me with your engine number prefix (first three digits of the engine serial) as well as the torque rating and I can tell you what will need to be changed in order to go from 210 to 275. Dont hold me to it, but I believe there will definately be some iron changes involved.
