<p>[QUOTE="crocky, post: 11684746, member: 200207"]No, not a walk-in, because a truck this size and the sleeper aren't really big enough. The sleeper has a side door, but I will most likely pull the rear window of the truck out so I can have crawl through access if I want..

So really no different than how guys with crew cabs do it but I'll just have a real sleeper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, it's a jost 5th wheel. It was almost new, the guy used it like 6 or 8 months before he decided to put a sliding 5th wheel on his semi. I looked at the normal heavy duty 5th wheels they sell for hotshots and they are all really expensive and seem like eventually stuff might break or wear out vs this thing will never wear out on a truck my size and I got it for $300.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm planning to have my flat deck modified to something similar to this.

The idea is to get a 10ft deck over the truck so I can fit 3 cars or 50ft of freight. So with that in mind, I wanted a real semi hitch.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/l3UrxhL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
