    it is 2000mm that is ~79inch, that cab have some withdrawn except it was only limited ( so not anybody could buy one).

    seat is foldable but that have other meaning in scania 4series terminology, it dont need to fold down for bed ( this is made on topline cab with solo driver equipment when you fold seat backrest and lover down bed

    on longline this means it is air suspended seat, that have possiblity to split its backrest so it can become anything you want

    wait a little bit i have somewhere my notes about scania longline from my impression of it

    longline had same length as conventional T cab Scania +1300mm comparing to normal ones , limited amount of them were made for special customers, one from belgium ( unit nr.3) was lost in fire,

    longline was very limited both in numbers and versions, you could get it only as a tractor, 4x2, 6x2,6x2*4( steering tag), latter they started to make 6x4 and 3 of them were made in 8x4, only with max possible equipment, 580hp.....4avaiable colors.....

    3 were made with manual transmission one by special request and this one in white color, other two because gearbox was not available as automated for heavy haulage

    That sleeper isn't 79 inches. The cab and sleeper together might be 79. A sleeper dimension is the back of the drivers seat in the driving position to the rear of the sleeper.

    Feel sure air clutch would be banned here for good reason . Same reason you can not have air steering . On blown hose , no steering and can not disingage the drive line . Sort of need to do that to stop .

    longline CR32T
    - Mattress beds 30cm high, because tunnels 30cm height of the bed floor is 60cm, bed partially sits on the tunnel but it is not possible to descend lower.
    - The bed is very comfortable for lying spring, but is too high to sit, too wide seat, hardly possible to use the back seat (in which the storage of newspapers and the like.)
    - Under the bed two large drawers. standard storage that is not accessible from the inside dimensions at CR19L / N-stairs illuminated- TV that comes out of the wall,
    - Above the bed on the right wall of the two open shelves, one covered and the possibility of delays over the shelf / open
    - The back wall at the optional equipment on CR19T cabin, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a big and two smaller storage with lids, above the open drawer with lighting
    - The back wall has a window (with Give Svaergods closed)- Under the folding table dimensions 520x475x850 mm, holder of the chair in the back wall of a shed, very practical for small items
    - Bedside bed controls for lighting, roof ....
    - Standard Webasto controls located near the bed
    - The left side of the cabin has a chair dimensions 600x490x490 mm, when lifted under floor storage room accessible from the outside through greater cover than standard 4serije, I chair is quite tough
    - Shelf on the left side of the cabin could have been done better, the shelf is too low and can not be the safest place things (just little things), smart solution is built-in bar (not Scania original solution, look at folder of GIVE trucks)
    - Above the shelves Mirror
    - Luft from the driver's seat to the module is large, so that the seat can move all the way back at CR19T, the seat rests on the cover of baggage (slide even too far, more can you ride, and even someone who has 150 kilograma)
    - Module behind the driver, has a standard luggage cover the outlet aperture, two larger drawers one smaller, when up the marble cover of the tap, all the way to the left is an opening for water (45 liters of water goes)
    - Car height is 2300mm and CT19T
    - Two air conditioning, strong Webasto ....

    cab is long outside 3560mm or 140inch,
    CR32T is full name of cab
    C= cab ,
    R= high cab ( from chassis)
    32= 32dm (1dm=10cm) from drivers legs to rear wall ( scania measure cab length in dm inside)
    T=topline roof

    cab is 1300mm longer than normal cab, bed is 2000mm long and it is placed behind seat so you can calculate 2000mm as sleeper length, upper bed is above windshield and it measures 2000x900mm
