Chassis cab vs pickup box delete?

once upon a time the axle width on a dual wheel c&c was narrowr than a dually,don't know about now

I have found some chassis trucks don't offer all the "bells and whistles" that you can get with box delete.

We own an 05 Ford CC, and the difference then was longer wheelbase and flat frame rails. You should check with dealer about other changes such as different fuel tank sizes, etc. Tthe insurance angle needs to be investigated as well as your states individual registration costs. Once you exceed a certain GVWR, the fees may become quite steep. One final note, if you plan on any extended warranty, make sure it's available with the CC. Ford would not offer it back then.

The cab and chassis trucks have heavier frames and usually more spring under the rear. The GVWR is usually the same but the difference is that the CC trucks will handle the GVW better. They are designed to run around loaded 100% of the time as the regular trucks are not. My 06 CC service truck weighs 11-13,000 everyday. It has a GVWR of 13,000. It handles the weight like it's not there.

I will caution through. I recently owned a 2010 CC 3500 that I just had an aluminum flat bed on the I occasionally towed a heavy goose neck trailer with and the unloaded ride was almost unbearable on the hwy. It took about 2000lb on the back to make it even start to ride okay.

Also, some states won't let you register a truck as incomplete. Whenever we sold a cab/chassis, we would also have to sent a copy of the invoice for whatever was mounted to the truck to get it properly registered
