actually looks like it'll be pretty simple...HA! we'll see, probably some crucial detail I'm overlooking.
The sleeper is just an old semi-truck sleeper, made by the Mercury Co. It isn't as nice as some of the old "coffins," just an aluminum box with doors at each end and tool box area under the bunk. I had it on back of my '63 mongrel W200 for a couple of years. It was fine going down the road but a pain when you needed to see where you were backing up. It fit ok 'cause that truck has a crew-cab frame and a 2-door cab.
Went to the truck museum at Brooks, OR today, pretty cool. Some neat old big rigs. Didn't see any PWs but they had a couple of nice 2wd Dodge flatbeds and '40 Ford Marmon Herrington (sp).
