    So I picked up this 06 379 with 73 in standup sleeper. Thinking of going flattop sleeper. My question is what size flattop sleeper will bring me the best value when I come around selling the truck? Are low tops higher value than standup sleeper? Idk the price difference or if it’s even worth going flattop. My sleeper has few big dents and tons of dings currently

    Alot of view points .. some guys like flat tops others don't like ..
    Me .. I'am.old school .. you couldn't give me a stand up
    Its flat top or nothing .. but thats just me I know alot of guys that wouldn't have a flat top
    The size well thats just you think you need .. 63" flat top seems to be the most common.

    Just check out Greg_Alberalla on YouTube. Search Greg Alberalla Peterbilt. He converted a 379 to a flat top. It came out awesome! After watching Greg remove the cab roof and install the new low profile roof you will see how much work it involves.
