is a high-top restrite a thing?  Or is it a custom roof cap?

 I have seen high rise rest rites but never one with the windows up top like that. That roof section looks like it was taken off some other brand of bunk, however, Rest Rite would build you whatever you wanted. That one was made somewhere in the mid 80s to early 90s after Rest Rite had moved do a much bigger location in Delmont, PA. When the company started out they were made in a little garage on Sardis Rd in Murrysville, PA. The Diamond Reo at the Iowa 80 museum has a high rise Rest Rite on it but with a flat top.

Talking about strange bunks, l remembered this video from awhile ago. Then watching mrsmackpaul's link on Georgia Peachs thread this video comes up. There is a follow up below this one so be sure to watch both of them.   .....Hippy

Kenworth had a 60" aerodyne sleeper that sat up close to the cab roof line like the one in the video above. A friend of mine from Rangley Maine had an "A" model KW he leased to Dysarts in Hermon (Bangor) Maine. He wanted to put an aerodyne bunk on it. He came across a cabover aerodyne cab and commenced to strip the whole drivers area out. The doors, glass, dog house, dash and wiring. Then he framed and shaped sheet aluminum to square and cover the front of the now 84" bunk. Painted it to match the cab. The frame had to be stretched to fit the new bunk on. When it was all set and done people would look at it and know something was different but couldn't say what it was. lt was the two feet +/- of flat roof between the cab and the V of the bunk windows.    .....Hippy
