I
decided to leave the rear axle location alone and
just extend the storage boxes 12" to 14".
The added cost and work to move the axle
(shorten the driveshaft, fill in all the extra frame
holes, change the brake lines, etc.), is just not
worth it.
I did the quick rendering with the longer
boxes and I hope it looks good
enough.
The
box added length will come from a second
"small" box, that appears from the side
like one long continuous box.
I will use one of the
small boxes for my battery, so I
can get it out from under the cab
floor. The other side will be for tie
straps, jacks, etc.
I think I will steal an idea from your
COE and make the small boxes open from inside
the larger box.
No weird hinges on this one. Because
it is short, I will just swing it open like a
cabinet door.
