    I agree with you beast on them dang windows in the sleeper doors.Looks cool as hell but sure dont make it dark enough to sleep and I had the curtians on them and 1 other thing the windows let in cold air in the winter where with the vents no bad better for the truck all the way around.Dont look as good but thats just me

    I actually like how a studio looks with the vent doors if it has a stripe package on the sleeper, it breaks up the size of the side.

    Mr beast I hate the window in this thing because of the light comming in with the snap on covers in place. I sleep when I can. As for studio, I don't know, that's what rednecks in MS. call it. It has the fold out couch and drop down bunk up top. A pain so I sleep on the couch to control ac and stuff. It's q waste of space IMO and the aerocab 60" with no windows, what I call a midroof is the best looking. But I do like the storage of this 72. I just love a long hood short sleeper non raised roof look.
    I had a 379 exd flat top 63 and had plenty of room. But after this w9 I like it better on the inside than the Pete. Just more truck you know

    I hear you, I like a W9 one heck of a lot more than a pete.

    So is yours the 72" or 86" bunk?

    Got a pic of the truck?

    It's a 72" bunk. I will take some pics. I swear with tall rubber the dash in this truck is a foot taller than my Pete was. And I like the one piece windshield. The step down sleeper. This thing is a sled. Climbing up top to sleep doesn't make sinse to me. If it gets too cold or hot you have to climb down. I would remove the couch and move the bed down If I can score the sleeper cap I need. I don't know how a factory midroof is set up on the inside. I will get some pics asap.

    My truck is just like the one in your pic with the drop deck. The paint on mine is faded though and it's solid red. But other than that it's almost identical.

    Yes that's the one. See to my knowledge kw still makes in 2011 a true "flat top" I guess it's a non aerocab too, as the seats won't go all the way back like a daycab. With a smaller hole to crawl through. Then there is aerocab no windows, I call midroof then taller ones with windows I call studio. I could be wrong about it all ha! Anyway that's the style sleeper I want. The one you just described above.
