The F600 is basically a F550 with a heavier suspension. Less expensive than the F650.
I agree with the first statement, but probably not the second.
I worked in the CNG conversion business for a short time before the price of crude oil and gasoline dropped. CNG is still NOT cost effective, except maybe in a few cases. The tanks are very large and expensive.
In some areas LP can be cost effective IF you have a large fleet, have room for your own storage and fueling and can negotiate a yearly price on the fuel itself.

If main target is local delivery, a diesel may not be first choice for some businesses. With major difference in cost, fuel savings etc, if these trucks never go more than 50-100 miles from warehouse etc,.......
With that said, some will do what I would call a long local distance useage, where a diesel makes sense if driven 50+k Mike's a year.

And for a truck that can always fuel at the same place converting a spark fired engine to NG is pretty easy
