Looking for a diagram of a 2012 F550
I'm looking at an F550 with the strict purpose of heavy towing and hauling. It's got a service bed on it right now, but it won't come with the truck. I can weld and engineer stuff, so I was looking to design a flatbed to see what my material and time costs might look like for that, or if I should just keep my eyes out for a flatbed or hauler bed or something.
I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find some critical dimensions of the rear of the truck so I can start some rudimentary design steps. Frame rail width, mounting locations, etc. I'll verify everything before starting the build if I buy the truck, but for now I just want to see what I can do.
