from what I am told, the stock king hauler frame rails are the perfect thing to use when looking to extend the globeliner.

Absolutely correct. That's how I stretched my globe and everyone loves the length on it.

Love the new chassis length. Also, a simple, clean, black truck. Hard to beat it.

Dean,

I'm doing that mod myself. Just need to get meself a few metric taps (and mebbe dies too)

Think she deserves super-singles on the front though... and mebbe a spare tire rack to use up some of the extra space?

Just pondering...

Like the plain black though. Think VERY carefully before ye add any decals to it!

personaly I like the length you have there. Is your globe on King rails? if so your at about 216" WB.... if you want it a tad longer just move the trunion mounts one hole back on the rails and drill the 2 new holes for the new trunion location. it will give you about another 12" of stretch, help bring that excess rear frame rail closer to the rear tires and look more prototipical.

.either way It looks like the "hot rod" cab overs of the late 70's . Big bunk, space between the tanks and tires. classic look!
