    I've seen a few down here as this is where all tandem axle flatbeds in the country end up finishing their lives. They usually just add 3 inches to the rubrail. Some innovative guys will cut off the rubrail (usually mangled already on 96" anyway) weld on some square tubing and a new rubrail or if they're lazy just wider tubing. Most I've seen still have the 96" axles, but a few have had the wider axles. I know a guy that picked up 2 good 102" axles off a cracked and rusted (shocker, sorry cluck) Transcrap for $400 here in Orlando. If you know the wrong people and speak Spanish, you can order any used part you want and they'll "find it" down here cheap.
