Very nice, I'd like some information on the vehicle you started with, I checked the ford commercial site and couldn't find a cab-over?

It is built on a 2006 Ford LCF45. It has an Auto 5 sp OD trans and a twin turbo (sequential) V6. It also has 4 wheel disc brakes, AC....
It is a 16,000 GVWR truck with Hydraulic brakes, so no special license required.
I can also use it to haul/carry pallets of stuff, machinery, cars bikes, lumber, make a parade float...
I can also take race cars to the track or show cars or non-running projects to be sandblasted...
All in all, this suits my local transport needs very well.
If I buy a milling machine, fine, carry it home...
I control my own destiny with regards to carrying stuff.

Brilliant!


Was laughing at the "if I buy a milling machine...." I bought one - and they put it in the dually with a fork lift... because of the weight they put it all the way at the head of the cab. The CF started when I got to the shop and had NOTHING that would reach in that far to get it out! The solution was ingenious but won't jack your thread.

I really like that hauler - nice job!

What do expect to see for fuel mileage when loaded?

When I see a cool cab-over car hauler I am reminded of the Mercedes Renntransporter.
