Welcome to the site Mark.

The truck does not come off the FL assembly line until 2/14/05. Then Show Hauler gets their hands on it and with any luck we should have a completed conversion towards the end of April. Check with Lonnie he always has some awesome rig being built over there. When we visited him a month & 1/2 ago, he had a unit with 2 bathrooms, also a rig used for hauling dogs (really crazy configuration on that one) a cool Kenworth T800 w/ extended day cab that just looked huge.

As far using a Columbia chassis, you might add 2-3 feet to the overall length. The Columbia is a taller cab, so your overhead bunk is very small, best to use this for a entertainment center or storage. The bunk on my FLD was a bit bigger than that of a Columbia and I could never sleep up there. Couldn't even roll over the ceiling was so low.

W900 - Graphics will be vinyl.
