gautreau Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Does the truck in your reference pic have a 48" sleeper? Hard to tell for sure from that angle. If so, you'll need to shorten the kit sleeper to match. Found out the truck does have a 48" stand-up bunk.Thanx for catching that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautreau Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I got the bunk sides chopped down. This pic shows the kit bunk side with the now chopped down bunk panel. Here is the bunk mocked-up with the cab from P & P resin. I just need to chop the top down now. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
