Yeah, my dad bought his first new truck, a Mack, in 1976 and a bunk was not even an option then, after a year of sleeping between the seats on a board he had a bunk made and it was the size of a coffin,

These new drivers today have it easy with these nice big stand up sleepers and comforts like fridges and stuff

I think if I ever were to get a truck it would be a KW T600 speced like Solo379 has his.

But my personal favriote would have to be one of these three.
