Default Frame / Wheelbase - Used Cl 8's for Conversion

New to the forum, lots of good posts to study. Looking to build or buy CL 8 based rig within next 12 months.

Several posts note good builders such as Hawk Engineering that build a conversion based on buyer provided used Class 8 Truck/Chassis.

Question - how do you reconcile wheel base of existing truck proposed for conversion?

Does existing frame length represent limiting factor or do new builders replace/extend original OEM factory frame as well? Risks of doing so?

Many thanks,

N. Asplund
