I think a sleeper would look cool...if you decide to go that way i would get one that fit a pete,or kenworth or older frieghtliner.....i would get a flattop sleeper but then again a nice doublebunk would be cool just not sure about how high it would be....
A double sleeper on the back of a deuce would likely exceed 13' 6" the DOT max for tractors.
However, try to imagine this:
Start at the cab in the deuce, and remove the bench passenger seat for another driver's seat on the right side. Grab a plasma and cut out the back of the wall of the cab and the front section of the cargo bed, and mig in some metal framework as well as close-up the gap a bit.
Add in the same gasket-type of kit that a Western-star or Peterbuilt 379 uses to attach the cab to the sleeper, and then build in a simple sheetmetal cover that will fit under the cargo canvas, using the bows as the outline. Maybe even add in a small back door and some sound and thermal insulation? then you have a sleeper that still looks like a regular deuce without the extra parts and hoisting large pieces on and off of the truck. I could draw a crude photo if you're still lost, but I was thinking about doing the same thing with Wallew this spring, or at least we discussed it once at length. i'd be happy to talk with you about it and share drawings, if you can de-crypt my handwriting.
With the amount of "armor" interior lights and electric element heaters in 28VDC, you could have a pretty nice setup!
You'll get the best of both worlds, having a deuce without the look of any mods, and a sleeper area for those hunting trips or boy-scout campouts.
