Man oh man!! You really want to step on out there. Thanks for making it viewable for me. I honestly believe someone measured the wheelbase incorrectly. I would put money on that truck not being even close to 320". Have you measured it yourself or are you relying on someone else?
320" wheelbase ?

I kinda thought it didn't look that long either but sometimes pictures can be deciving. But I think, I'd measure the wheelbase also.
Take a look at mine, it's only 305" wheelbase. -
the only way I would have a truck with that long of a WB, is if i was going to put a big sleeper on it, Longest id go? is about 280

It doesn't look that long, here's Project 350.

Not everyone knows how to measure wheel base or they go off of different points. My understanding was always center of steer axle to center of the split between the drives. Which is spot on for mine & that truck does not look like it is 320. But like others have mentioned, the photo could be deceiving.
There was a place in & around St Louis that quoted $2300 back a few years ago to shorten a truck. That was to move the axles forward, drill the appropriate holes & cut the ends of the rails off. No mention of alignment nor moving fifth wheel, but this has been 3 or 4 years ago. Never bought that truck & did not go much further than get that quote. -
I agree with everyone else, it doesn't look 320", but it is a #### good looking truck either way.
-
Pain to keep black clean. Yeh doesn't look 320 to me either.
-
Factory spec was 265" wb, he added 55"...pic is quarterin to so it looks shorter
-
I hear all that is said and see what there is to see but I would have to see for myself up close and lose my money before I believe it!! Stubborn aren't I.
