In search of a better truck for towing the M6060 and folding cutter.

Yes. All 6.7 Cummins have emissions.

My good friend is out of town on a work trip to Dallas, TX (pilot for a billionaire) and since he's in a hotel for a week and probably bored, he sent me a bunch of dump truck adds from Facebook (which I'm not on). The one that looked promising is a 2010 F-750 dump truck with the 6.7 ISB Cummins engine, 7-speed manual trans and 54k miles. A DPF delete only requires a downpipe and programmers/chips are available for this engine. It's dirty and has some flash rusting on it but overall a decent truck. It's hard to find the specs on a 2010 F-750 it seems.

This is a good option to add a gooseneck hitch to a dump bed. A well would need to be made in the bed with a removable plate to access the ball that would be connected to the frame. Shouldn't be too hard to fabricate and weld up a nice gooseneck receiver that adds to functionality while taking nothing away.

The seller sent me three videos which make it look even more promising. I can upload them to YouTube if there's any interest in seeing them.

Nice truck.

I can't tell for sure but it looks like it has drop sides. If so, They are AWESOME for side loading pallets of stuff. Had them on my old GMC 3500 chassis/cab dump. Only downside is low side height (can add 2x12's) to make the bed sides more useful.

Is that the case for all Cummins engines going into all trucks?

All I know is for 3/4 and 1 ton Dodge trucks. The swap over occurred mid-year 2007. I have an early year 5.9; my neighbor has a later year 6.7. But I’m not sure about heavy trucks and equipment such as log skidders. The Cummins is an industrial engine, so it might have varied configurations by application. The good thing about the 6.7 is that they have exhaust brakes.
