Crew cab + super cab+ 10ft bed

So I was surfing eBay came across a old 1980s 4 door bronco centurion which gave me the idea f350 dully crew cab with a supercab welded to the back creating a large long cabin then welding 2 ft from a doner bed to make a ten ft bed
What kinda wheelbase would I need what is wheel base for a 8ft dually crew?

i would start with an f350 cab n chassis or f-super duty (f450) platform with the long wheelbase like my new to me truck,and build your setup off of this;



local co.extended this one.i dunno what its wheel base is.i didn't measure that yet.i run a tape from bumper to bumper though,and that was just shy of 25'.

Centurion made an extended Crew Cab "Cowboy Cadillac" when they were still in business:

There used to be a 6 door mid '90s F-350 around here. It was on about 38" tires so it was huge. Painted bright orange too. Looked like the Great Pumpkin.

Good luck turning.
A crew cab long bed is 168"

I'm trying to fathom why someone would need a truck like this. Hauling immigrants?

If You did a 10' bed then twin axles would be a sweet addition to it also.
Go big or go home brother!!

Put a supercharged 460 to power the front wheels and all the electronics inside, a 7.3PSD to power both rear axles, (each engine getting their own set of dual tanks of course) and have a gap in between the cab and bed to allow for articulation. Makes perfect sense.
