I'd like to see one of these supposed fleet trucks with one. First 502's were bow tie std deck mkiv then gen 5 and gen6. The fleet trucks had 366 and 427 tall decks.

Btw if you google it, the same clown that says they were used in u hauls, says production stopped, and then reintroduced as the 8100 but only 496 cubes. But same motor..... Yeah and a 93 5.0 is the same as a new coyote motor
