Ha yes it looks a lot like that church bus. I dated the girl who produces Jarrett's segments and he has to use different trucks because the tow rating on it was too low for a lot of his loads.

I always thought an E450 conversion would make a great multi purpose hauler. my only concern is the distance the ball would be from the axle, seems like it would be pretty far and be a bit of a torque multiplier.

Hope that you never have to work under the hood. It's a bit tight in there.
