Hi Grant, my R795 has a 215 inch wheelbase measured center of the tandem. I will count the crossmembers tonight but I think there are three total from the cab to rear of truck.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Hi Grant, no I did not include the trunion stand, only the crossmember that is at the rear of cab, (supports rear cab mount) the one about three feet back, (carrier bearing hangs on this one), and the one to the rear of the framerails behind 5th wheel.

Thats the same as this then. it seems like a big jump from centre bearing cross member to trunnion support, its a long way back.

If I remember correctly it is a little more distant to the trunion support as opposed to the cab support but not more than 24 inches further.

I'll get you a couple photos tonight.

Hello, just seems a long way, I would have atleast 6 feet from last cross member to trunion support, I would have expected to see atleast one more cross member in there.

I think you are right but I forgot to look and snap the photos I promised. Will be there in a couple hours and will set it straight.
