You're close-
FLD120 is 120" from bumper to back of CAB. Doesn't matter which sleeper. There are also FLD112's and FLC112's with 8" less between bumper and back-of-cab (BBC). Also, the Century and Columbia use a completely different cab than the FLD series. The mid-roof sleepers are a bit higher than the daycabs. Also, look for former sleeper units that the factory is converting to daycabs that are a bit longer and still have the "flare" in cab width behind the front seats. They still have the extra headroom and a bit more length than the original daycabs.
On the Volvos the 610 series is also a little higher than the daycab versions.
The Freightliner designations are-
FLA & FLB- Earlier and later cabovers BEFORE the Argosy
FLC- Century and Columbia 112 and 120" BBC
FLD- Older conventionals in 112,120, and 132" BBC
I hope this helps-
Gary
