Don't worry about xs overhang  over the back wheels ; just stick a tool kit/ 
chunk of something under the front hood. Take some 'moments' about the back 
wheels and see for yourself :o)


  I've heard from more than one person that the solution to Ralph 
Nader's "death trap" was to simply throw a bag of sand in the trunk 
and have fun.  Not that extra weight is an ideal solution but if you get 
40's mpg or better (probably need to re-gear) WITH weight vs mid to 
upper 20's on gas, without the weight...  :-)  
  Extra weight is the reason I want to go with a Nissan 2.8 six in the 
'37 instead of something like a Cummins BT-4 (and the cost!)  Gotta 
call today to see if we can get one coming in on the next container!  :-)
(if it's affordable)
