Type 1 ambulance conversion f350 vs f450

[igorm]

Hello all,

Trying to decide between F350 or F450 type 1. Any thoughts on the extra GVWR?

The f450 will be a registration problem in california due to GVWR, what would be the main benefit that would make it worth the trouble? Seems like the f350 should be able to handle the weight of the box w/o issue?

Also does anyone know the actual (approximate) weight of a f350 and f450 type 1?

Are you looking at a 2WD or 4WD?
Do you have any particular need for extra capacity?

A 2WD E350 easily runs 3000 lbs front and 6500 lbs rear. I don’t have #s on an F series, but I can’t see them being less.

I have a GMC 4500....I wouldn't want any less. You'll be surprised at how much things add up.
