Congratulation, will be interesting to see what the total price of the V1 on the F-350 will be. Agree with the switch to a gasoline truck as the way to go...

Our custom-ordered F350 arrived today. We have exciting plans for it. Really digging the Velocity Blue exterior and Camel interior!

Ford did a great job on this for us - from order to delivery it was just over 7 weeks.

Looks nice. Just wondered why you didn't order a chassis cab instead of the pickup. Seems like it would have been a bit less expensive.

Ford doesn't offer all of the options on the chassis cabs, and some of the options we wanted were not available unless we went with a complete truck. If you can build a chassis cab and it has the options you want, sure that could make sense.

New article on the homepage.
I'd prefer the company's history wasn't completely ignored.

I might be mis-remembering, but I thought the chassis-cab model had a open C rear frame while the one with a bed is fully boxed and much stiffer. I'd want the boxed frame for an overland camper platform, and it would make mounting easier; no need for a pivoting subframe.

I'm pretty sure that all of the SuperDuty frames are boxed under the cab and C under the cargo space like this (couldn't find 2020 data this is 2107 but I don't think it has changed) -

I think that is the cab-chassis frame. Note the flat rails and consistent width. This is the regular version:
