AMT sleeper question

[rssschris]

Anyone know how well the sleeper from AMT`s IH 4300 would fit on the AMT Mack R6855T ?

Thanks, Chris

You could put any sleeper on any truck but there's going to be a little work involved. For instance the 4300 has a smaller rear cab window than the Mack so you would need to do some modification there. The pass through boot of the 4300 sleeper is a bit long so I would suggest cutting the molded on boot completely off the 4300 sleeper, widening the opening and then make a new boot. You could even make it a walk in rather that a crawl though. Next issue would be height. I don't have a Mack cab and 4300 sleeper in front of me but I'm pretty sure the Mack cab may be a bit shorter in height compared to the 4300 sleeper. As long as you can get your pass through areas to line up, your good.

Ben beat me to some points.You could also move the stack behind the sleeper,or leave the stack in the stock location and have a long boot like an AMT mercury sleeper.Here is a mack with an aftermarket bunk ,you can see the modified rear window
