265 vs 234 wheel base

Either you can drive or you cant. If you cant, dont blame your wheelbase.

I do believe this is the first thread where someone raises concerns about getting a shorter wheelbase truck in order to be able to park in a crappy Peelot. It's the trucking equivalent to a rap video. Instead of rolling in an Olds through da hood, you have drivers sporting short wb trucks to park in the Peelot! Word.

 

So that you can bridge the higher weights.

 

Excellent.

 

This may be a dumb question. But on some of these trucks you see the fifth wheel platform pretty far forward, now obviously some are slide fifths, but can you move the whole platform back on the frame, and will that mess things up besides weight distribution? I just pull flats and want that extra room for moving around, and a headache rack.

 

Yes, look at some big sleeper trucks, they have the fifth wheel back as far as possible.
