Mckinley sleeper(PICS ARE UP)

took a trip down to Muleshoe Texas this week and had Vic Mckinley install one of his custom sleeper conversions on the rig. I have some pretty good fabrication skills so Vic allowed me to help with the installation and some fabrication work

I skipped the usual sleeper bench option he normally uses and moved the factory dodge rear seat into the sleeper. I designed and fabricated a bracket system to hold the backs of the seats like the factory rear firewall does now. i added a bit more recline to the setup for more comfort I have order some new lowback buckets for the now middle row of seating. the 3500 is now an 8 passenger pickup

fiirst impressions are good the fit and finish is excellent. i notice almost no additional road noise if any. truck is getting a lot of attention

we had to modify the pin box on the fiver to allow us to pull it behind the sleeper.

ill send pics as soon as i get the chance

I think that we should get the moderators to ban these posts until pictures are available for them
