There was an ad to someone who makes a temporary bed for sleeping in daycabs.
I was wondering if you knew of a a link? |

Use your browser, and type in "Truck Sleeper Units" and you will get lots of sites to choose from...like this one.

Outside of that...in just the daycab itsself...no idea. But contacting one of these outfitters might have some knowledge of what you are asking for. |

| Just so you know, if you were to get or make a bed for a day cab truck you can not log that time as sleeper berth. |

Those were the good ole days, but I don't think there are to many doghouses in the daycabs of today's trucks...lol Back then you could pump up the air in both seats and lay just about flat..lol... |

| ...in the International daycab I drive, I made a box to fit in between the seats (out of wood) to match the height of the pass seat...then if I want to lie on it, I put down a blanket from under the pass seat and air up the drivers to match the height...not to comfy for a 6 footer tho, and if I do fall asleep, I walk crooked for about a day...it has a shelf in it for other junk... |

I made the same thing for plowing snow to get some sleep but i made a big mistake it was to wide and i had to leave the truck in a gear to use it :evil: So the truck could not be running so i would get it really really hot in the cab shut the truck off go to sleep for an hour or so and wake up and the truck would be 20. |
