    Hi folks, Alaskan owner operator looking for some leads on reputable shops down in the lower 48 that can do a big hole conversion on a flat top w900. Any recommendations would be helpful. 20230715_200618.jpg

    Ok - dumb question, but what is a big hole conversion?

    Minds out of the gutter please folks.

    The entrance to the sleeper I think Blair - cutting the back of the cab and front of the sleeper.

    In Trucker lingo “Big hole” means top gear..but your thoughts seem to make more sense.

    Waiting to see where this goes, lol

    Aah - ok.

    ARI Sleepers comes to mind, in IN.

    Another thread mentioned a custom place in SLC.

    Well, the truck is already black and beautiful, with red fenders, and - I’ll just stop there. :)

    my vote, keep it the way it is, get smaller seats. .... from a fat guy with a big hole ;)

    Some of us can't sit in a W900 with any seat. Legs don't fit.

    A quality body shop or mechanic would take the Pete pass through kit and fit it to a KW. Gets you the "big hole conversation". Or any truck with a "small hole".

    But I dont have any recommendations.
