Aerocab sleeper swap

I am also looking at fitting a 60" sleeper but I am starting out with a day cab,so I will be watching this with interest

 

Man sounds expensive

 

Not as bad as you would think,

Used 60" high roof constellation series sleeper $1500 us

Shipping half way around the world $2000us

Fitting to day cab $5500 nzd thats about $3200usd

So all up its about $7k usd

Large sleeper cabs on trucks with hoods are as rare as rocking horse crap over here,I want something a bit different.

 

I wouldn't think it would be too bad. I've got a 62" I thought about selling and a guy interested wanted a longer wheelbase daycab for a tank truck. He said he could have the dealer do the swap for almost nothing in exchange for the sleeper. They said newer sleepers in good condition are harder to find. Most that get removed are old or wrecked trucks so there was a good market for them. Over here the 38" sleeper is rare, I've had 3 of them (drivers never use them, they just wanted the room before KW had the extended day cabs) and they sell easy.

 

Why do you want to go to a 38 from the 62 our whole fleet of winch tractors have the 38 on them and we are thinking about going to the 62 just wondering if the visibility is not good out the back window when loading with that big shack. who is it rigged by all of ours are rigged by airco out of Acheson. Just because I am Curious

 

should be a pretty easy swap you will have to get the rear crossmember from the donor truck and install after that it should be an easy bolt up

 

Hey w900 I would like to trade but ours are all tridrives But I can understand the issue on a 244 wheelbase. where are you at in alberta?
