Unfortunately I think that would have to be built on the coil cab chassis as the leaf spring hangers are quite far behind the rear axle.
And the coil cab chassis was never sold here. Plus the balance will be terrible.

Ag damn. Why cant things ever be easy.
Let me do some googling to see how the guys have done it with the leaf spring ones then. Im guessing they can still get it a little shorter than the standard bin though
