Need something to pull step deck.
 
Well time for a bad to the bone tractor. So lowered,stretched & whacked the sleeper. Now that I've pieced it together to get a look,almost think I should put the sleeper (shortened) back on it. Let me know what you think,& there will be two pipes.

I have to agree with Paul on this one the rack has to go.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, Fred! Day cab for sure. Who needs sleep? We'll get plenty when we are in the dirt! :D I like the large car day cab look. If you want something different in the rear, I'd suggest you do a day cab conversion kit wall in the back. Leave the headache rack off, so everyone can see it. I was going to do one myself someday, because it's different, but you can be the first! Put those styrene skills you have to work.

Here's a picture of a cab conversion kit. Plugs the opening where the sleeper used to be.

There is a black Peterbilt 379 running around here that looks really sharp. Used to have a sleeper, but now it's a day cab. Has a kit on it, like the one above. I always see it hauling a ragged, busted up dump trailer, loaded with metal scrap. Gives me ideas for my own truck.

No sleeper, and I don't care for the rack either. A rack like Steve's would be the cats a$$.

Fill in the back of the cab and run a flush mounted deck plate from cab to fifth wheel and add a T-light bar on the back for that largecar look.

Drop the sleeper and rack, Freddy. Shorten frame to match the new look with a smaller fuel tank, too.
