Mike,

Do your homework carefully !!! I'm no expert on the differences between the F350 and F450, but in years past, the wide stance front axle was available in the F350 trucks. I believe with the aluminum bed models, starting in 2017, the wide stance axle is no longer available in the F350 line. According to what I've heard, the wide stance front axle improves turn radius about 50% over the "very awkward F350 turn capability"...

Everyone I've talked to with any "comparative experience in driving both the 350/450 trucks" recommends the wide stance front axle option. That would limit you to a F450 if you're looking at buying a new Chassis/cab model to put your own bed on it.
