But, you can cut the Tamiya sleeper off and change it for a Wedico sleeper, for about $100.00.

I don't know why you would have to cut the Wedico sleeper. Here are a few Tamiya trucks with Wedico sleepers on them.

Those are all the same sleeper, two of them have the resin walk in roof added to them. Last time I looked those sleeper were $105.00

I have the same sleeper on my Wedico.

If you can find a used one about 100 bucks is it..Im not sure way but the wedico does look better with a tamiya cab then the wedico cab just seam to be better proportioned to each other..
