That whole “stretching thingy” didn’t work so well for Boeing and their latest 737.Similar to commercial transports, C-130s have been built with different fuselage lengths. [i.e., barrel sections are added to make the fuselage longer per operational needs of customer]
If maximizing cargo volume/weight is your operational need, the longer fuselage could be the preferred option.
If maximizing range and/or minimizing nominal fuel burn rate, the shorter fuselage could be the preferred option.
The following image is simplistic but it illustrates the concept.

Thanks!Nice job.
We've been using the Troopy as a pickup for a LOT of yard work. Nothing like almost a ton of bricks to give you that "Cadillac feel".
I keep thinking I should do a permanent storage build out in the back but then I need the cargo room again and again.
I suppose this is just a sign my mid life crisis will be a single cab 40 or 70 series ute...

You need a utility trailer!!
Really appreciate it! From what I remember @Bogan & @FJBen are 2 others (at least in 70 series forums) that have great photography as well. Can't wait to get a good pic or 2... or 50, of everyone's rigs that go to the Annual 70 Series Meet & GreetHello,
I am not sure I said this before.
You do have a good eye for photography.
Keep up the good work.
