Really nice! Thanks for sharing.

That is going to look cool with the new parts on it!
I love the sleeper and think it will look killer when done!

Lucky you, Paul! That's one of my favorite Kenworth builds on the forum. I love that sleeper, but I'm not sure I love it on the truck. When I see a sleeper like that I tend to think of earlier models, from the 50's, but don't let me stop you! That is some incredible machining. Are the rivets raised, or are they drilled into the aluminum with a counter sink type center drill? It looks killer. I also like the tapered front bumper. That will be a nice change.

Nate the hay day for Mercury sleepers was 65 threw late 70's they made food truck bodys before that.. The rivets are counter drilled..
