Sweet truck! Very nice, esp. the SB dually aspect. They're rare. I think that is the first one I've seen. Gorgeous!
On a related note, last week I swapped my '03 King Ranch F250SD PowerStroke Diesel for a 2006 Harley truck (F250SD PSD crewcab). You'd think the two trucks would be very similar, but the coil spring suspension on the newer truck really makes a difference in handling/ride/road feel. It feels like it drives two feet shorter than the 2003 (leaf spring front end). I've never been much of a Harley dude, but I really REALLY like this truck! I've not yet done the "concrete driveway detail" on it yet, so I don't have any pictures of any account, but until then, I'll post a nice "representative" photo below. The darn thing has loads of "presence," I'll say that for it. It's hard to miss.
Here are a few thoughts regarding the 6.4L vs. 6.0L comparison. My neighbor has an F350 SuperCab 6.4L. He knows trucks and he owns a major truck service facility in our area. His thought is that the 6.4L has better lower end power, but the 6.0 has more grunt at highway speed. Your 6.4L is MUCH quieter than my 6.0L, of that there is no question. I've noticed both of my 6.0L trucks seem to shift much more firmly than the 6.4L, which feels like it has some ignition retard at the shift points (like most big engine vehicles have these days) to spare the tranny from some of the big-power torque that these powerful V8s make. They both tow like a dream.
Good luck with the new truck!
Mike
