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.

I agree with GlassDave about the long overhang behind the rear axle.

If you want to try something similar, consider a decomssioned ambulance. Some of those are already on mid duty trucks, and most have the biggest diesel available in them. Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FL-60-8-3L-C...mercial_Trucks

I did a 2003 ambulance cab with a 7.3 a few years ago . it had a 63 inch peterbuilt sleeper on it with a 8 ft flat bed . it was way short on power , it didn't have a intercooler on it so not enought power . the newer ones with a 6.0 will have a innercooler , more power. there are pics of it on here some where . post pics of your ride . it is a
white e450

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