Sleeping setup in your pickup.

OK, i didn't take all these pics for nothing! Let's see if this works.

I removed all the seats, belts, brackets, etc. I swapped the passenger seat over to the driver's side.

 

I had removed the rear bulkhead to gain 2" of sleeper space, but soon realized that the bulkhead panel provided noise and thermal insulation. Driving without it proved to be too noisy.

 

After removing all the back seat hardware, i cut a piece of 5/8" ccx plywood to size around the B and C pillars. It started as a 34"x65" piece. It's in two pieces because i intend on attaching hinges for access to the floor storage area.

 

Finally, i was ready to bolt the plywood to the deck using longer floor bolts and 1" nylon spacers to level the board against the contours of the floor. Unfortunately, the thread twist on the new bolts didn't fit the existing holes, so i'll have to wait til Monday for the hardware store to open before proceeding.

 

What do you think of my improvised bug screens?

I took my used pair of Freightliner Cascadia screens and cut them down a little. They almost fit the rear windows of my Quad Cab stock! I just had to trim some of the plastic border, and place it where the gap was. It took all of 10 minutes to make the pair fit. A tiny hole is still present, but i can easily fill that gap. Hooray! Fresh air, and no bug bites!

 

I have 65" of space from door to door. I have an additional 22" of space where the passenger seat used to be, so at 6'1", i can stretch out fully when sleeping at a slight angle.

 

Bovellois, i cant open your picture file. Looks like the same problem i had earlier.
