    I thought about buying one of those. They have a bunch for sale in Northern California, but they all have flatbeds on the rear frame. Easy to change tho and then u get the nice long frame ;)

    That was kinda the plan I had, buy one and have the engine and trans rebuilt, redo the entire frontend and then take it to ARI and have a 130" sleeper installed. Including the cost of the truck, it was going to be about $65,000 for everything. Which isn't bad, but then I started looking at gliders and so-on. I'm still in the Star Car for now tho

    I had a cab-over stretched, after redoing everything I had 35-40k invested in a completely rebuilt truck. It paid for itself in 6 months hauling long I beams, while others had to run with permits I was not since the front overhang, for every load they hauled I had two in.

    60 foot long beams pay good money, running permit loads with normal haul time night or day.

    Is there a legal limit on front overhang?
    If so where is it measured from ?
    Must make for interesting swing out when turning sharp.

    State regs are vague. They don't mention if the overhang they are defining is the front of the truck or the front of the trailer.

    My overhang was trailer front end, the load was not in front of the cab.
