    My truck has a 48" Unibilt high rise. It contains an approximately 3 foot wide bed that is of queen size length (my sheet set fits perfectly for length) and about a foot of space in front of the bed to the back of the cab.

    Peterbilt offers several other sized bunks (36" flat, 63" flat, 63" high and 72" high) on 379/389 style trucks, but only one other size of bed, its about 4.5 feet wide. It sleeps two large adults side by side, shoulder to shoulder.

    This is the 63" high rise:

    The 63" high rise is what most Peterbilt drivers look for in a truck.

    I'm 6'5". I'm driving a car carrier with a flat top. Horizontal isn't an issue. Getting my drawers on in the morning is.... I miss having a condo!

    I didn't realize you could get a 32in in a 386. These 365s are oilfield trucks so they just put smallest possible bunk they offer. Very rarely do we ever have to take a 10 in one
