I used to have a list for this but it's been awhile. Looking at buying a used cab and chassis to put a silage box on, 22 maybe 24 foot dump box. What should I be looking for for C-T and frame behind cab lengths? Will be looking at 18,000lb fronts minimum, walking beam suspension hopefully. Thanks.
If you find a bare truck with 18k# fronts you will have a bloody heavy frame.
Why would you want that?
I would suggest a tridem drive and then balance the box so that you're adding little to the front axle weights.
That would give you your heavy weight capable body job.
You could always find something that has the dual lockers (not so easy to find in my experience) and drop in a heavier front axle.
You could always just stretch something that's short - - - done all the time converting a semi to a body job (ie gravel).
