She has 12” of front travel and 13” of rear travel! Give or take 12” or 20” ;)

Mighty strange looking swing axles. Twin I-Beam it AIN'T no more.

My son says he hopes the body shell is easy to lift off for engine R&R.

'Cuz under that cowl it ain't gonna be very serviceable.

Yes, the blower clears with enough room. However, a engine removal requires the windshield to be pulled. The only downside to putting a steel cab on a trophy truck! Engine location is as forward as possible given the center mount front end. The engine location, albeit difficult, is a set dimension
