Don’t have time to read all the posts, but just make sure you check your gear ratio in any heavy duty gasser. Old junkers with 4.10s or even higher (numerically) can really be work horses.

Does your truck have 16” or 19.5 wheels. My rollback is a F-450 GVW of 15000. Its really good for about 20k but the tires are the weak link especially if it’s hot outside.

19.5 wheels
I have seen these all over craigslist for 2k or less, most folks, look right over them. That's a good thing for us who want them.

No such luck here. They’re pretty rare here and priced pretty comparable to other trucks.

I’m not actively looking for one. But if I found a 454, manual transmission, 4x4, 100,000 miles, flat bed it for 2 grand it would probably be mine.

My 2001 E350 12 pass van has served me well. Ive had 8K behind it and pulls well. I do use a load distributing hitch on my equipment trailer. A used church bus is my first choice, the service vans have been road hard and put up wet.
