Unless the AK you mentioned is special, the standard wheelbase for AK MkIV's is 90", as was mine. I've sold it now but I remember seeing 90" in the owners manual, as well as the wheelbase lining up along side my Kirkham, and fitting on my ramps without any adjustment.
The AK's certainly look longer without the sidepipes, the cut down doors and extended nose. But I'm pretty sure the extended cockpit was simply some clever moving around of the gas tank (full sized front spare, for example), as well as other adjustments.
Again, maybe the AK you're selling is special.
At any rate, we can all agree that extended wheelbases do not necessarily mean more legroom, and in the Autokraft's case, the standard wheelbase can mean more legroom.
