Gypsy -
Thanks for the kind words. The tanks are 70 gallons each, wb is 265" to the front tandem, and the box length is 28 feet. The box in this configuration overhangs the back tires approximately 6'6". We bought the truck from a friend who had already had the frame stretched in the middle....the people that did the work did an excellent job; when we had it aligned, the rear axles were dead on. The reinforcements that are bolted into the frame extend about 3 feet from each end of the splice. We added another 5 feet onto the rear, and we were done.
Geof - I'll keep posting pictures of everything as I do it. I build race cars for a living, so I'm lucky in that my boss lets me use the shop for anything I need. The space sure helps!!! I'm ready to get this thing trimmed out on the outside and start to work on the inside. Take care, and I'll post again soon.....
