Guy i knew took a wood board that was a few inches shorter then the entire cab and cut it into 4 peices which he screwed hinges into. He would just unfold it throw a yoga mat ontop of it and instant camp bed. About as comfy as it sounds but better then other options.

Chem Leaman and Matlack had only one seat in the R model.
A lot of guys built a box [cut out for shifter room] to fill the space and topped with a good 3 inch thick piece of foam. Inside they kept blanket and pillow and extra clothing.
Winters, when Belle, WV froze, we would run form Linden, NJ to Janesville WI. and I remember one guy who would layover 'on the box' on the way and hit a hotel after delivering and do the 'box' for his last layover coming back.
Their boss paid $18.00 a layover [1978] so the one hotel night, with a good meal was covered.Speed_Drums and blairandgretchen Thank this.
