Ah you are 3 1/2 hours from me. I'm in the lift boot looking thing right on the Ohio river. About a 30 minutes Southeast of Athens Ohio. Down in Big Buck Country.

Wow! 6' bed? Were you planning on extending the drive shaft and all to move the wheel base back? Man I thought we had our work cut out for us.
