Home brew sleeper cabs

mushroomman:
This thread has just reminded me that I bought a Sputnik washing machine in South West Africa back in 1975 for a lot less than 100 Rand, it was ideal for working in the bush. And after doing a bit of Googling I am surprised to see that they are still selling them.

I.I.R.C. this photo from page 3 of the blue D.A.F. was driven by Keith Headley from Bury, Lancashire who did some Middle East work in the late eighties and early nineties.

That blue daf is quite interesting. I can’t quite identify what the driver’s door is from. It’s not a DAF door.

This thread is really interesting. Some of those jobs look really slick and professional, whereas others look ludicrous :slight_smile:

Has anybody got any pictures of the insides of some of these home brew sleepers? Especially the small bolt on coffin types? I’d love to see what they looked like inside.
