Many seem to be experts on shortening, but how about lengthening? I ask this because the only longer than 8 foot beds you can find on modern trucks (1973 to present, I use the term modern loosely.) are chassis cabs which require a CDL to drive, and are hard to get rid of, for that reason. Other than changing drive shaft, wiring, brake lines etc., what do I have to do to make a truck longer? Thanks.
