Time to buy a truck
#24
After driving my Dad's T600 0again) I am pretty stuck on that. He has the integral studio sleeper, so you don't have to duck to be in the sleeper. You also step down to get into it , which is wild. I'd probably go with the doghouse entrance since I might eventually stretch the frame and go with a 97-120" custome sleeper and still keep the wheelbase 244 or close to.

You can keep the aerocab (like your dad's and mine) and when they stretch it, they put a "boot" that keeps the same size opening as factory and then mates up to the sleeper, so no ducking to get in and out.

I thought the boot was for the reg type of sleeper. I forgot, but is yours like that? It looks like one hell of a mach job if I were to convert an identicl truck to my dad's. Its got the sunroof evnts and slopes up from the windshield back.

Yeah, mine slopes up from the windshield back, gets taller/wider as it approaches the sleeper. Basically, they remove the sleeper leaving the opening which curves on the roof and behind the doors, then they fit a "boot" over it which allows a larger opening in the sleeper, that way you can walk into it the same way you would with an aerocab sleeper, so you don't have that stupid "crawlspace" hole. I'll get a pick of one in a sec.
