Some of the overhang on the fornt depends on the length of the toungue on your running gear. On ours, the toungue sticks out about 4' from the front edge of the wagon.
For overhang over the back, I wouldn't go past 4'. Even that is a little much for me. I try ot make the running gear as long as possible within reason. About 3' overhang is my prefered.
I agree with the others that Pine is not the preferred wood, but it will work. Either 2 2x8's, or 3 2x6's bolted/nailed together, or one solid stringer each side. I use 20 penny ring shank nails when I build one, and no problems so far.
This is the last wagon I built. The stringers underneath are 6x6 pine that was under a green feed wagon that fell apart. I used treated 2x8's across them, instead of using 4x4's and running the boards length ways. I prefer to use 8' long boards instead of long 16' or 18' boards.
Feel free to poke around my pictures, ask questions, whatever.
