Talk to Raymond in service at Liberty truck (Freightliner Dealer) in B'ham. Expensive, but they know what they're doing. You don't want to screw around with frame work. They just stretched a straight truck for me from 252" to 314"

I think you can find one already stretched and you can be on the road making money sooner

Tractor converted as a straight truck is much more comfortable ride then straight truck +bigger sleeper and bigger payload so i like the idea myself if i had the money i would do it.
