It would probably be a 2001 Ford F-550 4wd cab/chassis,164.8" WB,7.3L
Navistar Powerstroke diesel, ZF M6HD 6-speed manual transmission,2-spd
manual transfer case,Dana 135 rear, 4.88 gears, locked rear axle, dual 115
amp alternators, clearance lights, 40 gal rear/19 gal midship fuel
tanks(total 59 gal fual capacity), skidplate/off road package(fuel

GAWR/springs, auxilary rear springs), camper pkg(Rear stabilizer bar), Heavy
service suspension pkg,4-wheel disc brakes, 6,000 LB front axle,13,500 LB
rear. I would equip it with a 14 ft steel flat/stake bed w/dump with strap
winches mounted on sides, gooseneck hide plate,hoop steps, full protected
recessed lighting. It would have a Ranch Hand front bumper w/a pto or
hydraulic driven winch(at least 15K lb), a custom built rear hitch/drawbar
