Also, your F450 is just as wide as an HDT. The only difference is the HDT is the same width from front to rear whereas your F450 is only wide in the rear.
You're definitely right about all of the above, but you should imagine yourself in my shoes when trying to explain the width situation to my wife. I can't imagine that conversation yielding my hopeful result.
