ShortBed vs LongBed Truck for Goosneck



I have a Ford F350 Supercab with standard wheelbase (141.8"). When we had our Fourstar Gooseneck constructed, one of the options was to have the receiver tube moved 3 &1/2" forward so that it is right up front. The nose is also tapered from the 8' body to 5' at the nose. This allows the gooseneck to pivot a full 90' without hitting the truck. Most trailer manufactures won't do these modifications so shop around, but we got a good deal from Fourstar and have enjoyed the easier maneuverability of the standard wheelbase with the convenience of the dog bed, er, supercab!
I would guess that a standard six foot wide gooseneck on a 61/2' bed truck would hit the truck no matter how careful one was.
Good luck in your search!
