Hi, I'm a newbie here and I own a small construction business. I'm contemplating doing a 4x4 conversion on a '98 F-800 5.9L 7 speed 26K, 4 x2 cab n' chassis, then putting an 11' contractors dump on it.
I'm building a project where I'll need to be able to circle the construction site in mud, and most of my jobs are off road anyway.
I currently only have an F450 4x4 which is too small/light. An F550 4x4 is prolly too small, too and not gonna be much better than a F450, hence the F800 idea. I'll have a 26K "real" medium duty 4x4 for a lot less than a new F550 4x4 with only 17.5K.
Anyone ever done this or have any suggestions? My last M/D was an IH1700 4x4 and I never should have got rid of it!!!
