dump truck w/ sleeper ?
 
I have used the search here and have googled it, still I come up empty. has anyone seen a dumptruck with a sleeper?

Ima start building a Kh in a bit, and am torn between a dumptruck or a dump trailer. I dont know about cutting and filling to make a daycab. I got no skillz yet so I was wondering about leaving the sleeper and just putting a dump bed on. I just dont know how silly it may look....:eek:

I have sen one. It first appeared odd but when I think about when I need to travel for work sometimes it could come in handy.

I have seen a few not many there was a guy around here that had one with a quad transfer he hauled alot of contaminated soil and hazardous waste , so he made alot of long trips to special dump sites and sometimes the load would have to stay on truck for a day or two to get all the paper work and testing done have no pics of it but

found this on google

Lot's of picture's on biglorryblog.com, but there site and archive's are all "F........UP" at the moment. Mexico has a few, Canada, and don't remember the rest.
Have you looked on Hank's Truck Picture's for idea's? Just a thought

Hey sgt Hopkins, click the link and look at Rodger's trucking. You will have to scroll down to find it. 2nd page under modification's
http://www.raydanmfg.com/uploads/263...8fb94b2ba6.pdf
And if you go through the Raydan Gallery, there are a few other sleeper truck's to look at for more idea's. http://www.raydanmfg.com/?page=media&section=gallery
Yes I seem to like twin steer truck's! I had a chance to check this truck out at ConExpo/ConAg last year. http://www.raydanmfg.com/uploads/830...a0fd7d7692.pdf I don't know what was mounted on it.
Cheer's, Neil
