2000 F-250 Whelen Edge Size

[blackcherryxj]

One of the tasks that I was assigned in my department is taking care of the radios and emergency warning equipment.


We have gotten a 2000 f-250 super duty second hand from another agency. It had a Whelen Edge bar on it, but it was strap mounted. I want to go back with the strap mounts. I've heard that I need a 55" and I've have I need a 60". So what is the official word on ELB? And are you measuring from the end of the lens or the end of the I-beam?


Any help is appreciated. I'm definatly going back with a Edge strobe bar on this truck, just need to know what size I need to work on getting.

I would recommend installing a Full-size bar of at least 52"-55" due to the size of the vehicle. See Wattco's article about proper fit and look:

My 2000 F250 super duty has a 51" frame 55" with end caps. I think it is labled as 55" here is a link to a pic sorry it is a cell phone pic.

Thanks guys,


55" with end caps is what I've been working with my local guy on getting. My big deal is to not have to drill holes in the roof. All of the other f-250/f-350's in the fleet have 48" bars and they just drileld holes in the roof to mount them. I'm trying to get them to use the longer bars and have less holes in the roof.


As always any more info and pictures from other people will help. The more pictures I have, the easier my position will be to explain.


Thanks,


Paul
