Looks like they don't right now, but they usually do. If you want used, my go to's are Signature Truck Center and Comvoy.com

Keep an eye on Sons Ford in Auburn, AL. They always have cool stuff. https://www.sonsford.com/

At my local U-Haul, 14ft box, V-10. Right now they want $3500, think maybe the engine is gone. If it sits another month, I'm gonna offer $2500. Perfect candidate for a 7.3 Godzilla / 10r140 swap.

Look on Comvoy.com. I am in the planning stages, but I am planning on building a fiberglass box. I have the 138 SRW. I am gonna buy a 156 DRW and convert it to single rear wheel.

My box is a 12ft Supreme Box.

I've been super busy with the house remodel. Almost done with that, time to focus on finishing the suspension for Boxanne. Since I own a plasma table, and have access to a press brake, I've been wanting to do a Kelderman style 4 link, air bag system. I've been looking at pictures / watching...

Supertramp Campers - Megatron. They want $500k for it. https://www.supertrampcampers.com/products/megatron I am planning on building something like this, but for the E- Series chassis. My box truck is great, but the OEM box (Supreme), is showing it's age. I am pulling the box off when I do...

Get it while the getting is good.

I'm gonna get it weighed again somewhere else. I dont think it's accurate.

It needs a turbo.

This guy: https://www.youtube.com/@MattSoppa Does 5.0 Coyote swaps for a 5.4 F-150. I think this could work on the 5.4 E series van.

The 5.4 does love to be ran at a little higher RPM. At first I used to try to keep the RPM's low, but then realized, it doesn't matter for that engine. I actually think I get better MPG's if I stay in it a little more. The 5.4 isn't a bad engine. My old van was a 7.3L diesel, that made 500hp. I...

I'm not sure. And I can totally be wrong. First of all, I won an auction on a salvage RV with the Godzilla engine in it. With every intention to swap it into my rig. At the time I was moving across the country and didn't have the time or room, to keep it. So I sold it. I love the Godzilla...

10 mpg is good compared to the Godzilla. I've heard it gets 7-8 mpg
