I find myself in possession of this 08 6.0 E-450 that used to be a govt owned ambulance and everything was taken off after it was decommissioned
I mean the tranny and engine are clean as hell, suspension is solid and the frame is beefy but... what the hell do I do with a big ass diesel frame like this
Ideas?

Build a box section, chuck it on the back then start from there.

Put a COE cab on it, and any bed styling of your choice.
No seriously, this would be a perfect thing to make into a project or sell to someone looking to throw an old COE/truck cab onto.

What's its load rating, and how long is it?
Custom RVs are always fun, if the base isn't overkill for that purpose... but only if you actually plan to use it yourself, because it will never be worth what you'll put into it.

Probably easier said than done... when you try to slide it I'd expect the front end to just stop in place and the rear end to spin around it. Bet it'll do donuts for days though.
Could always rally buggy
Either that or just flatbed it and have your own personal tow rig
Build compact motorhome. Use to fuck off in when you need to use up your PTO.

Lift it and turn it into an overlanding camper.

You basically just build a giant fiberglass box on the back. Pic related.

Cut the frame as short as possible and autox that bitch.
What does it weigh? It is just a normal open diff or does it have some type of locking?

This, just build a house on the back of it or bolt a small Airstream on it.

Custom RV, build a custom living area on the back with a bathroom, shower, bedroom, and a solar set up with batteries.
Make a flatbed and folding ramp and use it to move a track car or offroad vehicle without a trailer
Or build a armored room on the back and make it killdozer 2
