Hello all,
Searching for a Bullnose or a Bricknose to swap an International DT360 into. I will be using my engine and transmission so the Ford drivetrain specifics are not that important but the chassis details are. Vehicle will be mainly built for towing.
I'd like to nail down my search but I'm stuck in DRW vs SRW-land. The F250 will handle the weight I want to tow but I have questions about differences between the two setups:
Frame: I've read that the frames on F250s and F350s are the same in newer gens. Is that true for Bullnose and Bricknose Fords?
Turning radius: I'm looking for turning radius info on these trucks but not seeing much. Are the SRW any better at making turns? I've seen a few references to 2wd trucks being better than 4wd when it comes to turning but still looking for specific numbers.
SRW vs DRW: for folks who've had both in this generation, and especially for people with experience towing equipment (not RVs which I understand are a different deal), am I fooling myself by leaning towards the simpler SRW setup?
Thanks all,
a.
