I'm no expert, but that looks like a F-350.

There are F-450 thru F-650 (maybe F-750?) Super Duty models that look like this. However I think the F-550 is the largest GVWR that is available with a pickup bed, the rest of them are chassis cab configurations due to different (stronger) frames.

Yeah, I don't believe that's a 550...

The 550's aren't made in Kentucky and that machine is made right here in LOU-EEEE-VUL

The F350s up to F550 looks very similar. Alot of the telephone trucks driving around here are F550s with the bucket in back, they look pretty much exactly the same as far as body and height as a F350.

edit: I just looked closer at the picture and those look like the tires you see on the F550s I was talking about earlier (except it has much nicer wheels). What I mean is that the sidewall is very stiff looking, and does not bulge like most regular tires do.

Oh and when I was looking for my truck I saw an online ad for an F150 where the price was insanely low, within a few days the price was corrected (they forgot a 1...you can guess where it went )

We used to have a F550. They come stock with 19.5" wheels, so they prolly just bought some aluminum alcoa's for this truck. However, they 450+ only come cab and chassis, no bed. AND, to place a normal bed on a 450+ requires a lot more work than just 6 bolts. You have to shorten the frame between the cab and tires around 2-4". Thats why you see most 450+ with custom beds on them.

If you really want a big rig get a freightliner M class or FL60.



The GMC/Chevy looks nice also.

Whether it is a F350 or an F550, that thing is still a sweet truck!

F-550 all right, check out the rims on both front and back, and compare to F-350- but like I mentioned previously, that is not a real auction, I called the dealership and found out it was a prank by someone else, and they've been reciving calls all day about it.

That is no question a 550.See the 19.5 inch wheels and look closely at the front of the bed see the seam.The bed has been lengthend to fit the 550 chassis.
