i talked to a couple truck body shops about cutting the roof off my sleeper cab for clearance to make a sleeper area. they said it would take to much cap strength out. my roof is angled in as it goes up. there would be 3 angles to deal with and hard to seal. i was going to build like a roll cage in cab and cover with some type of material. now i think i will just build off front of motor home part. they seem to be starting to make it hard to get titled as motor home conversion. tons of paper work.
