Grubby, SingingWolf, TravR1 and 2 others Thank this. -
Then there's the old "coffin box" sleepers drivers used to use. Remove the back window and mount this on the back of the cab.

If you have plenty of real a state on your frame you can pick up 42" flat tops pretty easy and cheap, and a air ride for bunk pretty easy to install.
