Default King Hauler to Globe Liner conversion

Hi All,

I've recently inherited an old King Hauler chassis. I'd like to run a Globe Liner body on it but the Globe Liner chassis looks shorter. Can anyone tell me if it's a direct drop on fit or what modifications/parts are needed?

Thanks,

NickelPlate

if you don't like the stretched look, you might want to get the globe chassis. here's a globe on knight hauler rails. i just re drilled and tapped any holes in a different place

Don't forget to move the front axle forward.

Oh didn’t know about that. I guess I would have found that out when putting the body on. Any other gotchas?
