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).

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.
