Album update
OK, you all have seen that I have come back from my long vacation (some vacation). Anyhow, the long awaited updates for the F-800 semi project are loaded into the gallery. It's HUGE. The good news, is that it does run, and I have driven around in my drive way. I may have to lower the cab height though, because I may have a good set of fenders coming for it. If I lower it, I'll have to do a body drop on the sleeper. Oh well, I'll figure it out. I may also have a nice pair of 100 gallon or 150 gallon aluminum tanks coming for it too. I also priced some 6" exhaust pipes, and they'll reach about 3 feet over the cab roof (if I lower it back down). Air ride is not going to happen any time soon (too expensive).

What do you think of the sleeper that's on mine? I think I am going to pull it off, and put a larger one on it.

Need some better pics of just the sleeper, and some measurements, but I'm really looking for an "older" style. Even just a shell from an old one would work, because my wife does upholstery, and I'll redesign the inside anyway. |
I'll have to get some more pics to you. I do know that it's a 36 inch "coffin" sleeper and it came off of a Peterbilt. I can get some measurements for you too. It was free to me from a trucker friend, but for what I want to do with it, it's not big enough. My idea was to lay out the sleeper kind of like a rolling lounge. I want to put in a fridge, and microwave, and entertainment system for the kids on road trips. The 36" isn't big enough for my ideas.
