Looking like a new Ford F-650 will a Cat diesel and Allison automatic. I'll keep you posted. (I was hoping for another new International :( )
 
Not big on the sissy-sticks, but you definitely made a great choice with the Cat; those power-chokes just don't cut it.

re: Chip truck

Hi everyone. Love this site. I am building (or getting built) a big truck. It will be a unconventional chip truck. I purchased a C8500. Its a cheverolet (only in body) has twin screw dual tandem 53,000 gvw. Yes, you will need a class B cdl, however I am looking toward the future. I have a rollover tarp to catch the chips and left a space of about 3' to the cab for a loader when funds become available. The length of the box is 18'x8'x7'. The point is: plan the future for the purchases of today. You can't catch big fish with little bait. I will keep you posted if it is a success or bust :)
