Nicely done. I'm not interested in buying it because I have a similar project using a GMC. I am curious what the distance between the rear wheels wells is and the outside width. Also, how did he go about widening the rear bogies? I assume he put some rectangular tubing as spacers and welded it in?

Kerry,

From my calculations, it need not be welded to the frame. But a piece of box tube might be handy. The thing my design ended up with was a deeper thwarthships beem and a tensile strap underneath. The big issue was deciding just how close to 102" you can get. If you don't include the lugnuts, you can get even closer.
