SLEEPER and crew cab conversions for the Leyland Roadrunner are now being offered by Longton Truck Engineering of Stoke-onTrent. The designs are based on similar conversions already available from Longton on Freighter and Constructor models.
The Roadruler crew cab provides accommodation for seven — including a driver — and adds around 152kg to the kerb weight.
The cab depth is increased by 850mm, although this can be reduced to 550min by relocating the external header tank below the cab floor. Longton also adds its own one-piece glass reinforced plastic (GRP) high-roof extension.
The dual front passenger seat tilts forward to give access to the four-man rear bench scat, which can either be trimmed to match the original cab finish or covered with vinyl. All interior panels are trimmed and an extra roof vent is added. Price is 0,999 plus VAT.
Longton's Roadrester sleeper conversion also extends the cab by 850mm and adds around 102kg to the chassis weight.
The original day cab roof is retained, but with an extra rear metal section which is
overlapped and welded to it.
A full-length 650mm wide mattress is fitted along with extra curtains. Price for the sleeper cab is 0,030 plus VAT.
Both conversions are factory-approved and are fitted with a Leyland specified twinram hydraulic tilt mechanism.
