Thanks for the reply! We're looking at Dodge 5500, Ford F-550 and the Terrastar, it will be a short wheelbase dump. International is exempt from DEF because of a deal they worked out with the EPA, I think they're the only manufacturer who is. From what I read, they had clean diesels before they were required and built up emissions credits with the EPA which gives them some leniency today. It's disappointing to hear about the crudeness of the cab, that might be a dealbreaker. Any truck we get will be equipped with a plow and spreader and will need switches. I specced one up on their website and am waiting to hear from them on a quote. The truck has to be functional, I wonder if they might have made improvements for 2014? I think my build sheet gives them a basic idea of what we're looking for and then I have to talk with a rep to refine it further. It's not like the other manufacturers have their sites set up.
