After studying several trucks, I think I may look for a Freightliner. The sleepers on these are rivited, and would be easy to modify, where a Volvo appears to be welded together, and would be a lot more trouble. The Volvos seem to be more reasonably priced, but the Freightliners don't seem to be too bad. The rear ends appear to be mounted similar to the Volvo, so it should be easy to drop an axel,unlike the Kenworths.
I looked at an intregal sleeper Freightliner that had the sleeper shortened to about 18", which kind of made a supercab out of it, then it had a regular seperate sleeper mounted behind it. Something like that, only using a Double Eagle type sleeper would be about what I am looking for. I will still need to figure out how the Double Eagle type sleepers are mounted. Guess I'll keep an eye on the truck stop parking lots whenever I pass through one!
