    Not mine. I got the picture off the Bentz Sleeper site.

    I drive a 2007 WesternStar.

    The M2 112 we had was an extended cab with a small sleeper.

    check out the local truck boneyard--should be lots of sleepers there----the one i used to go to-has row after row of them----the only big job is to take out the back wall and reinforce it right--and thats not a big job--then 4 mounts a seal and wiring for lights-----do you want to run ac and heat in the bunk?
    that will require some fabbing and expense if you want it

    We have two of them. 2006 and 2007, both have 515 Detroits and eaton fuller 10 speeds,3.58 rears.

    They get decent fuel mileage. 6 or more mpg in the winter and 7mpg in the summer months.

    We like them. We have had very little problems with them.

    I also like a t600. If you like a cat,or a cummins you will probably want the t600.

    WesternStar will have more cab space.

    If I were you I would go with the best deal.

    If you like a detroit and a 13speed there are lots of WesternStars to pick from.

    A WesternStar would be very simular to your Classic in my opinion.

    He only has 4 posts and hasn't been here since 2011.
    Probably won't be getting an answer.
