    Hello everyone, I'm in the process of building a truck. 83 kW w900b, 315wb. My question is that I have a long hood to install but I'm unsure if I should shift the cab back along with the bunk, battery boxes, fuel tanks etc or do I extend the frame forward and move the front axle forward. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Gotta go advanced to post pictures. That's a dead link for the rest of us.

    I've never done wat you want to do, but I'm interested in how it turns out. Few years ago at E town they were parading around a black n red two tone from Lanita Specialized that had been a short hood A that was made into a long hood. Very nicely done.
