[QUOTE=buck183]Heard a rumor today that Ford will be building an F-450 with a standard truck body. Anyone else heard this?

The Fords to me look better, and the suspension for work is far superior but rides a little stiffer not being used. I just got another 07 F350 dually that I tricked out and have both a 3500 GMC dually on order and the new F450 dually which will be my daily driver. I will let you know what I like and dislike about both in Feb. Take care and Im glad you like the Nortech, cant wait to get mine in 2 1/2 weeks, just in time for the KW PR.

Re: 2008 Ford Super Duty Article
07's are in dealers lots now..
Thought the derated engine was a bit weird in the 450 myself.. Looking at the brochure tho, I may actually get to like the new dash....
