Kansas farmer Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Just wondering with the shortage of sleepers or at the least quality sleepers for these old trucks has anybody ever thought about putting a pacar sleeper on a superliner or r model. I thought I saw one a few years ago on a superliner. Also an added benefit would be if a guy could use a unibilt for extra seat room. Just thinking out loud basically but pictures and thoughts would be welcome. Hell it may not even look worth a crap.

Vladislav Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 There was yellow Superliner for sale on here a while back, something about 3-5 month.It has what looked like Paccar bunk on.I checked out my folder of RW pics but haven't found it. Maybe anybody else keeps more info of it.As for me I'd prefere taboo Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42007-this-may-be-taboo/#findComment-305644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 it's been done,I've seen Pete,KW,IH and Western Star sleepers used,only thing I can say it's better than nothing. I'd say the Western Star looks the least out of place.The Bentz built sleepers of an IH aren't bad,but they are pretty boxy looking.Here's a W900A sleeper on my '80 RWS766LST "Junkyard Dog".

PeterMack Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Peterbilt flatop bunks are getting very expensive, I know that much. Seen them going for 5K and up on ebay for decent ones.Here's a link to an older topic here on BMT that has a nice yellow B and a few others with a Pete bunk.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/38918-whatever-happened-to-this-b-model/page-1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42007-this-may-be-taboo/#findComment-305683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 This the yellow truck your talking about Vladislav?No, not this one.There was a long E9 yellow Superdog with flat top bunk for something like 20-22 grand.Somewhere in NY or other North-East states.You could find it rifling through "For sale" section.Just difficult to do, there were many RW for sale recently.
