M923 frame length

[lakeydna]

I've read on here the M931 frame is 11'9" from the cab, I've seen mention the M923 frame 12" longer. What does it actually measure from the cab? What about M927? Just trying to figure out what frame to use? I've found the wheel base measurements but want the actual frame lengths. Thanks

Dimensions should be found in the -10 TM.

Thanks, I read slower and noticed my computer is skipping pages on the TM's.
What I've found:
M931 - 265"/ 22.1'
M923 - 307.5"/25.6'
M927 - 380.9"/31.7'

Assuming cab length is 10.3' based on 11'9" frame length extended passed cab on a M931, frame lengths should be as follows:

M923 - 15.3'
M927 - 21.4'

I didn't see any actual lengths I'm looking for in the TM's, just wheel base, chassis and overall. Any takers to verify my math?

A 931 is 11'9 after the cab and a 925 is roughly 15'. The cargo is much more because it hangs over the rear, the cargo wheelbase is only 12" longer.

Don't forget the spare tire and muffler are behind the cab also.

found this thread and thought I'd pose a different question.. frame height for an M927/814 is about 3'-4' or so(ground to top of frame)? Thinking along the lines of the Extreme Camper M36 project and this mod install for the basic structure..hopefully on the used market somewhere....

they come in 2 heights so hopefully wouldn't end up too tall..

Just thinking in and around the box...

maybe this idea also but pretty heavy..maybe basic concept can be applied to any box structure..although all permanent mount items would have to be centrally located.. any idea what these might cost..?
