Yesterday I laid out the general location for the PW cab and WDX style bed that are going on my 6x6 chassis. The cab should fit fine, but I noticed that a 9' bed will sit 6" to the rear of center, something I had not anticipated.

Looking at pictures of other trucks that have been built this way, it looks a little odd to me. The bed sits too far to the rear. So the logical question is should I add a 12" section to the frame behind the cab and install a 10' box? Stretching the frame is not a big deal, and this chassis will never be a good candidate for a historical restoration of any kind. I'm just trolling for input pro and con before I proceed.
