I just bought an XL and you're giving me great ideas, thanks and done with project
A lot of hard work looks good
I watched this for the second time lol, have you thought about getting some leather similar to what’s in interior of truck to wrap cabinets and under sofa etc? So looks oem, only thing left I’d change is I’d get a mini split ac setup you can get 12k btu using 700 watts and then all you do is turn on generator with auxiliary tank. No setting up ac and I’m sure way more efficient than portable one. I used to have one of those they hog power like crazy same btu like 1200 watt
Pretty Snazzy home away from home...
Nice job fella carpet the timber watching from over the pond in the uk
Good video again the sleeper is looking good that back wall I would put carpet this like you said that would look good and put the carpet on the door you have got a very beautiful truck my friend be safe I am from Jonesboro Arkansas
Bad ass! Exactly what I wanna do to my truck
3M makes an adhesive remover a little expensive but works.
Carpet will do the trick Or you can cover it with black leather. Would also do. From South Africa
That’s nice!
Try acetone on that adhesive if nothing else works
Stain all the wood to a dark walnut and it will look awesome
Nice
Very dope set up bro!!!!!

Right on. Just take a weekend and go for it. You can tweek things later after you spend some time in it.
Watching from Franklin, Indiana. Love the way you are changing your sleeper. As a driver that has been in a bad truck crash for you safety I hope you have everything secure, from my experience in a roll over everything that is not secured is a flying object. Stay safe and thanks for your videos.

I have everything screwed down or strapped down. I hope to never have to deal with that. Glad you made it out okay. Thanks for watching.
Awesome , I would avoid carpet , carpet absorbs odor and dust and sticks later , I would just varnish , impressive job 👍🏻. Your giving good tips and ideas for owner operators, cool . I drive for Roehl transport and I live In Connecticut.

I'm thinking the carpet they use for subwoofers. Stay safe out there. Maybe we will cross paths one day. Thanks for watching.
I’d do the led lights for sure it’ll really pop then
Diamond plate it like black diamond plate

I did my own truck in laminate. It's a lot of work. Turned out great. It's easy to keep clean. Obviously I removed the seats and the throttle cabinets and safety belt ratchets that bolt to the floor. The other person who put in the floor cut around everything and it would collect dirt . Everything is mounted on top. Looks good guys.
great idea i have been wanting to do the same thing. your video is the first one i have found. The couch fits perfect.

Thank you. Its a lot of work but its worth it.
Use marine vinyl. It’s water resistant, easy to clean, easy to install, and available in many colors.
Add some contrast for the doors, think white would compliment the steering wheel and open up the cab. I would say add carpet around the base for added insulation but that might interfere with the rear cabinet door, however, I would agree a tile back splash would add a nice modern touch as long as cab movement doesn’t cause the grout to deteriorate. Love the custom look. I find it interesting how truckers modify their rigs to accommodate living on the road. Looks awesome!!

Thank you. Im thinking the carpet thats used for subwoofers. It's super thin. I like the contrasting idea. Im going to look into that. Thanks for watching.

Looking very nice Nomad. Trucker. You should put the same as what you are going to do the cabinet doors on the back wall. I think that a nice darkish varnish would look very cool. I am watching from Dublin, Ireland

Hey, thank you. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Ireland the where my wife keeps begging to go. She says its amazingly beautiful there. Stay safe.
The old Freight shaker it's coming together, I would definitely go for the speaker carpet and the LED lights but on the cabinet doors I would sand and varnish them a little bit of the varnished wood back there would be awesome or like the other comments said paint them white compliment the steering wheel and maybe put some kind of red design on them like Freightliner in red

@@NomadTrucker I'm sure you could probably go to like one of these printing places and have them print you off the Freightliner in red and put it on the doors when you stain them white
Great job, from NC. I would probably use some speaker box carpet in black, along with the LED lights, just paint the doors to match the fridge. If your ever around Greensboro NC, would love to see the truck.
You could burn it with a hand torch and then put clear stain on it. Super awesome look!
Finish it off with carpet and the LED lights would be a nice touch! I’m watching from Rock Hill, SC. Just outside of Charlotte. Stay safe

Before the Goof-off, try a citrus spray. You can find it around the air freshener. I think this will not harm the vinyl.
I think I saw you hop off at exit 66 in Smyrna, Tn. this past Monday. I really dig what you're doing to this classic. Looks great!

Yeah, just carpet it. It’s easy and will look good.
Careful of the goof off it will melt the windshield. Used on a Freightliners windshield and it etched it.
Was curious if mounted the cabinet to the wall as well as floor or just floor?
Have u thought about that light weight fake Brick panels u can get at home depot or lowes...to put on ur back wall and und ur couch..... I would paint the framing black...the doors red with some white pin stripping accents then clear coat it ..and find some really cool door knobs....just my opinion...but its ur truck...looks darn good 👍
