    Looking for a shortest conventional truck with shortest bunk.
    Freightliner would be Columbia or Century 112 with 38 bunk BUT there very few of them.
    Can you think of any other models out there which would have short cab and short bunk?

    Czego, Another alternative would be to go full bunk /Condo sleeper with a short wheelbase. I know our century is probably a little longer then you were thinking of, but thing has great visibility and turns on a dime with some change back. Might want to go test drive a few different trucks to see if there is an alternative you can live with.

    I wouldnt own one (tiny, rough riding, maxxforce pos engine, etc) ... but an international 8600 with a 28in bunk has to be right up there with the shortest wheel base and lightest weight trucks you can get.

    Actually WB does not matter as it will be stretched. I need a truck with minimum 450hp to put a 26ft reefer body on. If I get truck like columbia 112 with 38 bunk then I will be just shy of max 40ft total length. I dont want M2 as the are not really good on highway. I need a rig that will run 99% OTR

    I hope you're beefing up that frame, and not just stretching it.
