Hi guys (and gals),

I'm in the process of planning my first conversion. I'm planning on using a Freightliner Century with a condo and cutting the condo right behind the front seats. I don't end up with a bunk but I do get a nice tall ceiling over the front seats. I've seen another done this way and it's really nice. I want to remove the front drive axle but am wondering how much box I can get away with safely. I've been told 24'. I'd really like to get 26' if possible. I also don't want my wheelbase getting too long since I'll be pulling a trailer to race tracks the majority of the time and the pits are a little tight sometimes. What kind of overhang should I be looking at? 6 feet? I'm not sure what wheelbase that will give me but assume I'm going to have to stretch the frame.

Any input would be appreciated.

Brad
