Them old boys ran some sleepers that half the new breed of drivers wouldnt even fit into! And if they did manage to squeeze in back there, well, there is no cupholder for their half gallon of Mountain Dew!

I remember driving an old 74 kw. Had what they called a crawl through sleeper.
Going was ok, but get out of it to the front, well that was a trick.
Tried coming out head frist one time. Well I only did that once. Come out with one leg then balance and finish coming out.
We had one guy so large he had to get out of the sleeper through the side door...

Great pics!

That black A-car on the previous page was schweet!

And the CHiPs cop - "You're in a heap of trouble, boy!"

I always wondered why Cali trailers have outboard rails and everyone else has inboard.

A lot of drivers went out and in threw the sleeper door. that is why they had a step under the bunk. I locked my keys in the truck one night and I was glad the sleeper door was unlock.
