    Pete, 387 or 587 are any 75' midroof's on the road? Can you have the top removed on a condo 75' sleeper, creating a midroof look?

    Factory never made a premium length sleeper in mid-roof for the 387, and I believe that holds true for the 587, with that said, I am with you on I think they should have done it.

    That reg. mid-roof is really only a 52" sleeper.

    Could you have the top half of the 75' condo removed, to get that midroof look, and what would it cost ?

    I have no idea on the cost, but I did see one in Texas some time ago, it looked good from the outside, never got a chance to look inside.

    There used to be a guy I believe in the Pacific NW that stretched mostly Paccar products, if you can find that company I would think they could give you a price.

    I have seen both T2's and 387's that were stretched with an extra sleeper panel to 100" I don't know if the had a custom cap made, or if they pieced the original, BUT these were all condo's.

    KW and Freightliner are the only ones that come to mind that have 70" mid-roof sleepers on older models like T-600's and 800's T-660's if you want a little newer, Freightliners are Century and Columbia's Cascadia's if you want a little newer.
