Kav Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have a cab that used to have a walk-in sleeper fitted - now I want to revert back to a normal cab. How hard is it to change the rear cab panels and where do I cut them - or do I just fill in the missing piece from the rear window down. I have a donor cab shell. Regards - Michael.

Regards - Michael.Michael, I've never seen an "R" model cab back panel the had an insert for a walkthru type sleeper. I've replaced a couple that had this setup but replaced the entire cab back panel with a new OEM panel. Both that had the sleepers removed also needed roof repair so the roof skins were replaced at the same time. The newer style cabs are built with the removeable panel to let a guy go from a day cab to sleeper, or vice versa by just bolting, or riveting a panel into place and installing a rear glass.
