Which Sleeper Is On This B Model Photo Taken In The 60s?

[bamlogisticsinc]

The Truck was a B Model by General Split Corp in Milwaukee, WI. 

 

The Sleeper is noticeably shorter than other brands, sitting right at the height of the cab, Also has a painted square shaped vent. Unsure of the brand of this sleeper. Photos were taken in the 60s, I would assume its a factory option.  Interested in one of this brand with the same dimensions. Can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe its possible someone here owns one of these B models from the former General Split Fleet? 

 

Thanks, B.

Information on sleepers of this vintage is essentially non existent. There were dozens of independent sleeper manufacturers back then. I would say not a factory option. Back in those days if you wanted a sleeper you put it on in the aftermarket.

Just my two cents,  I’m sure anybody that would  know anything about them. Is  probably long gone. They were very small original cigarette pack,, coffin  sleeper. Not much better than sleeping across the seats. I’m sure all of them went to scrap once they come out with the bigger better ones and don’t forget both  L and B model did offer molded in sleepers on both. Models  … Bob

Kinda looks like a Mercury sleeper but doesnt have the distintctive doors.....Im sure there was a lot of aftermarket sleepers around back then.Maybe even built in house....

a driver side picture would have been great. many sleepers back then did NOT have access from cab. another reason they were called coffin sleepers. driver side many times had the one long door to climb in. sleeping across seats did prove not much different.
