    I like it! Jack Cooper has a few yard trucks like that in Flint and Kansas City. They use them for yard moves to replace the 'jerk crew' at the end of production line.

    Those are new buses this year. The Ford stuff may be a little heavier than the Chevy's were last year.

    Looks good!

    How much overhang off the rear is there?
    It’s hard to tell from the picture.

    I'm surprised Ford is still building the old style full frame cab & chassis vans when the other body style has been out a while now and they offer it as cab and chassis already. I just hauled the same old school body as a 2019 Fedex 24ft box van. I had no idea they were still making them until I picked it up last week.

    The Transit chassis can't handle the bigger buses, motorhomes and ambulances, that is why the E series is still around, ONLY available in a cutaway or stripped chassis, no van, AND the just intro a new 7.3 GAS V8 for it, I think its close to 450hp/500ftlbs,,,,,,,,,,
     
    dwells40 and Dale thompson Thank this.

    As for the length issue, the vehicle should be classified as a "stinger steered" so it is legal at 80 feet. Do not consider going into Canada with it, too long they are still at 75 feet of vehicle with 3 foot overhang in front and 4 foot on rear for 82 feet overall.
