No but send me a MP3 or wav file of it running and I might get even more motivated.

Not too quiet when they're cold. Still not bad, I'd say it's like a 12 valve Dodge in overall noise.
, and it gets down to 10 degrees out here.

I would tweek a few other things before ordering such a thing. Probably would spec the rear tires for something with some traction capability.

All that truck and you only get a 5.9? Come on.....isnt the 8.3 an option on these? I think the IH may still be close in price, plus can come with a 466

The 5.9 is stock, if you read my options, I choose the 7.2 Cat. Of course I could buy something like this: http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/...1089190&guid=31A9B02A1BD047E696D894ED3D3E8BE6
And have money left over to tweek the bed to haul my camper and tow my trailer, get it painted and still have lots left over.

HA!! That's Markinter's truck!! 
Spec-out an '06 crewcab 4700, 300HP DTA466 and a transmission with an O/D gear. Then you'll be getting into a REAL truck. :draw
The best advantage IH has over Ford, other than it's just a better built truck, is the extensive dealer network IH has compared to Ford.
Availability of the 8.3 Cummins is sporadic on the F650/750. I think it's been discontinued. That's the diesel I'd go with in the Ford. Cat has too many problems.
Better off with IH on a new truck. If it's used, just buy the best truck for the money that's speced closest to the way you want.

Unfortunately I don't have the cubic money for that or that legit of a need. If I found the right truck for under 20k and the buyer held in there for mine then maybe.

BEWARE! F-650's with the C7 Cat are absolute dogs. I drive one at work (2004 F-650, 25,950 GVWR, rear airbags, 295/75R22.5 tires, 5-speed Allison), and it borders on dangerously slow, even empty. I'm also not thrilled with the cab...not a lot of storage, marginal heater, steering column too low (or wheel too big, take your pick--it's a larger diameter than an F-250/550 wheel), no adjustable-height seat belts, and the air gauge, cruise/RPM control switches, & air horn button are very poorly-located (obscured from sight by the steering wheel and/or shifter). I want an International.

I can vouch for Mark's truck having the fuel turned up a little , and the timing advanced a smidge.kblackav8or said:

I PM'ed Mark but haven't got back a response. He is a couple hours away. There are 3 issues with his truck though they aren't really deal killers - Mileage, Color and if I can make my Camper fit on it. I would like to see more and get some good details on it. Who knows, it may have already sold.

How about this one? Bit of a haul but I imagine I could recoup shipping or driving it home by selling the dump bed setup.

A very plain work truck& very uncomfortable on log trips. IH bech seats are as crude as it gets.
I would suggest finding a truck already converted to a hauler to cut down on customizing expenses. 99.8% of all IH mediums are work trucks. 95% don't even have A/C. A lot of them don't even have shock absorbers.
You need to be patient and wait for an IH hauler or keep an eye on the F-650 crewcabs as they tend to be MUCH more comfy inside-better for long towing trips. It costs a small fortune to convert a work truck into something comfy for long trips. M
Since your truck is to be used as a personal vehicle & long trip hauler, my advice is to steer clear of former work/dump trucks. They're usually stripped to the bone, have base model trannies, low HP ratings and no interior refinement or AC.
