Hey Jek,
Yeah, I get that a lot.. Most people don't even know that Ford makes a shortbed dually. A couple people on the Ford lot even tried to buy it out from under us. The fleet manager was upset when he found out it was a spec order. He said he could sell that truck all day long.
The thing is, it's rare that a dealer will spec a F350 with a shortbed so most people never even knew they existed. We had to wait about 9 weeks or so to get ours delivered.
I had to fight and fight with my bro to get the short bed over the long bed. But considering it gets parked in front of my house most of the time, I won the fight.. And damn glad I did... Shortbed Dually's ROCK !!
I can't compare the 6.4 to the 6.0 because I never owned the 6.0. But when we test drove both, one thing that was very apparent, the 6.4 was much more quiet. While it still has that beautiful diesel rumble, at idle, it isn't as loud. Which I'm glad about.
The twin pipes are OEM.. We have not started to mod the 350 yet, so everything on it is Ford. We are going to rip out the radio and do a aftermarket NAV, Backup Cam, Sirius, etc. Maybe a push bar with some additional lights and a few other little gadgets.
Let me know if there is any other info you might like, I'm happy to share.
