F-550 is cheap, looks like a F-250, just it has a 1 and a 1/2 ton suspension.

Believe it or not, I have an F550 crew cab on order right now for the Birmingham Airport. Chassis is still a ways out [you think Mustang GT's take a while] as there is a national shortage of 19.5 and 22.5 truck tires.

Truck should be delivered sometime next year.

It will probable look something like this except in a 4 door red chassis with a few more bells and whistles. This one was built for Lockheed Martin.
Yup, I know where the LHM hangers are and everything. Thats cool that its coming here!

I've been on a truck once like that.. had built in generator and air compressor. The guy worked for the railroad and stopped to help when a friend of mine had a flat tire. Made a 15min job a 3 min job. Was awesome!

These things work on heavy John Deere construction equipment and can do just about anything out in the field. What they can;t do, they disconnect lift it with the 10,000# crane and take it back to the shop.

Well, for the past three days my girlfriend has seen Ferraris on her way to work... she found out it's a Ferrari club or something touring the wine country.
She finally took some cell phone video of it today. Hopefully I can get that video online.
