Beyond custom sleeper, this man has built a custom camper on his tractor. This is Tim Lugwig’s 1985 Peterbilt 359 short hood, that’s had some custom work done to it. You won’t see too many even close to looking like this beyond-seme sleeper.
The tractor initially had ICT legacy sleepers built him a custom 154-inch sleeper, and he set that up already like a camper. But then in the year 2000, Tim stretched the cab 12 inches (for leg room), and the whole unit got re-customized in 2003.
This custom tractor RV has inside:
-bunk
-2 captains chairs
-small table
-twin bed
-sink
-microwave
-refrigerator
-TV/VCR
-lots of cabinets
It’s powered by a Caterpillar 3406B engine.
Some of the custom work includes: re-skinned roof and doors, shaved marker lights and door handles (the doors are remote-activated now), painted air cleaners, grill screen, hood vents like a 1950s style Buick, huck bolting, 8-inch stacks. The latest part of the customization included body work by Kansas City Peterbilt and murals by Envisions Design.
Some other interesting features: it has a real door.” The inside of the custom legacy sleeper has a bunch of police memorabilia to match the outside, and the windows have bars similar to those found in some jails.
The whole story of Tim Ludwig and his custom legacy sleeper police-themed unit was covered at length by Daniel J. Linss at Ten Four Magazine. Visit them (click here).
