Frame length from back of cab on M923?

Can anyone tell me the length of the frame from the back of the cab on a M923A2? Thanks

Do you want 923 or 932? Title says one, text says the other!

Back of cab to the end of the frame rail on an M932 is 141"

Cheers

Oh sorry about that, I need more coffee obviously! I need it for the M923, thanks though!

180-1/2" back of cab to rear of frame rails, 161-1/2" back of spare tire rack to rear of frame rails.

It would be very easy to put a gooseneck ball in at around 44 or 52" high to the top of the ball, or lower with some extra fabrication, right at the rear of the truck, and still handle your trailer weight fine.

Thanks for the information! Basically I want to throw a Polaris 11' buggy in the back of the truck and still be able to pull the 5th wheel camper. Hoping if I remove the spare tire carrier, move the bed forward, and shorten it to the 11'....I will have enough clearance to still make turns. I'm beginning to think I just need to find a M927.

Just take your sides and tailgate off and cut a hatch in the rear floor and place hitch inside the hole, you may need to add a lift kit on your trailer but that's easy.

He hasn't posted any height dimensions yet, but I'm under the impression that this would put him over height?
I wonder if your onto something though and he is just trying to keep the trailer level? I have the perfect tires if he can lift the trailer...

I would, but axle flips on trailers add almost 5 in. to the trailer height which will put me over 14'. I could risk it, but not worth it.

Yeah, I'm trying to keep the trailer level as it sits at 13'5". I've seen the butte lake trucks and that's what I'm looking to do. Just have to find a fifth wheel hitch that I can mount inside the frame with some modification.

Then I would recommend a gooseneck ball and conversion on trailer. But instead of putting it under the floor make a heavy duty trailer hitch and tow it like a bumper pull, that way you don't have to cut up a perfectly good truck.

How much does your trailer weigh? You can get a 25k hitch for bumper pull, maybe more, with the 3" receivers.

I've never seen a 3" receiver. That could work. It's GVRW is 20K, hitch weight is 3150 lbs, 42' long, 13'5" high
