BillyT Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Smallest sleeper I've ever seen! Ironic that it's on the back of an R model similar to the one I used to put a soda case between the seats and sleep in! I would have appreciated that narrow bunk!

41chevy Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thats from the age of drive til your tired, rest up and go on, not lolling around for 10 hours like now. The smallest I recall was on the Ford C series. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51105-skinny-drivers-only-need-apply/#findComment-380568 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phase 1 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Sleepers like this were once common. I can't imagine it would have been comfortable for anyone over 125 pounds and 5 feet tall.

Popular Post Timmyb Posted September 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2017 I love it! Despite what everyone is saying, it's still packed with features like, - A mattress. - A water tight roof. - Doors that can be opened when the temperature inside gets warm. - And a convenient box below with separate doors to hold tools and spares in. Everything you need, nothing you don't 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51105-skinny-drivers-only-need-apply/#findComment-380600 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Went into the old shoe box and found this pre-bunk picture from Rutland. Probably taken 2001-2002 or there abouts. My eye-o-meter figured the added bunk to be 24". Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
