Gotta say my 08 super duty quad cab feels monstrous inside compared to my second gen.

I feel like the obs trucks were large inside at least they felt to me to have the largest back seat. I haven't owned one, but have ridden in a CC plenty of times. I've personally owned an 01 & 04 crew cab Ford and felt they were larger inside then my 2012 ram 3500.

2017+ Ford has the largest cab, by far. 99-16 are all the same dimensions. OBS is the smallest.

4r will be the easiest to make work well. Any of the superdutys are nice for room and are a big step up from an obs truck in overall comfort and driveability in my opinion.

10.4 My last fummins was a 01 F-350 with the 4R100. I never got the tranny tuned right and hated the stack shifting it was doing so I put a nv4500 in it and eventually sold it. I hope to have more patients this time around!

4R100 is your best swap candidate. Control the shifting with a PCS.

If you get an 05+ truck, the coil front will ride better, and turning radius is better.
The 5r isn't bad to tune with the stock PCM and HPTuners.

you are technically correct however; 5Rs still have a mind of their own and refuse to shift identically under identical conditions so it can cause frustration for OCD people.
