Got the cab interior stripped, cut out and the sleeper in place. Had to drop the battery box, will have to lower it this weekend. We moved the drivers side fuel tank forward because of concern of clearance but it's fine so it can be put back where it was. Used part of the frame that will be cut off and discarded for L brackets to mount the rear of the sleeper. Overall went fairly smooth today.
Used Rubatex pipe insulation to make a custom boot between the cab and sleeper. Wesed contact cement to hold it in place so it can be crushed between the sleeper and cab.

There might be a reason that there aren't any pics of me working.... too busy guarding the fridge
Day went really fast, Must say he moves pretty good for an "old man";p
Turned my back after mentioning moving chains around on the gantry to set up both chain hoists and when I looked back he was already on the roof of the shed..... without a ladder.... scurried up and down the gantry like a kid

Todays progress.
Moved the fuel tank back into place, put the bracket back on to limit forward movement and tightened the straps back up. Had to lower the battery box 2" and bolted everything back together. Still have plenty of ground clearance.
Not much else done except taking careful measurements to calculate the stretch. Wheelbase is getting a 118" stretch bringing it to a 295" wheelbase. This puts 60% of the 26' body forward of the rear axle (roughly 15.5') and 10.5' behind the center of the rear axle.

twin 40 or 50 gallons tanks. Have to clean the paint off a little better to read the lables but I think they are 50s. Will burn an estimated 1000 - 1300 gallons of fuel per month. I don't have time to hunt down or make alternative fuels and I won't switch to bio until it becomes available at nearly every truckstop.

Yea, that's just what I need to do....... Soot up the trailers I already have to wash before I deliver them.
Only stacks this truck will see is the stack of trailers, cars and boats I winch onto it...... And the stacks of Benjamin Franklin$$$$$$ it puts in my pockets
I don't want to hear it driving and I don't want to smell it sleeping. Exhaust is going out the bottom in front of the rear tire.
