    Does anybody know of a company that offers a kit to convert a freightliner classic condo into a midroof? There's all kinds of companys that make daycab conversions but I can't find any websites that offer condo to midroof conversions.

    Sounds like a lot of work....might be money ahead to find a midroof cab and swap it out that way?? Then you have the factory seal around the top still.

    I looked for one over a year ago even called a few that do the Pete's. I even offered to let them use my truck as a guinea pig and no one took that offer. Seems that would be a top seller way more Freightliner fleet trucks on the market than stand up Pete's but they sale them.

    Yeah, I mean just by looking on truckpaper and craigslist you can buy nice, clean classics with condo sleepers really reasonably priced. There's a place in Ringold, GA that even made an 84" condo sleeper into a midroof. I just can't beleive nobody offers this as a kit.

    I had mine done by Shawn at collision solutions in Grand Island Nebraska. Did an amazing job and would do another one with him

    Who did you call that did the Pete's and what kind of Pete? I've had one quote in the $17K range. Just the top from Pete is $10K. There is one shop in Amarillo that won't give me a final quote. I guess he doesn't need the money.

    Ya you can get it done way cheaper than that.... If you make it to mats this year this guy has a both that sales daycab conversions and the flattop kits the 63" kit was $1,150 and the 70" was $1,250.

    One of my buddy's had triple R in San Antonio they painted his complete truck and interior

    Apparently, on a Freightliner at least, the condo roof cap simply unbolts. But I think you'd need to strip the entire interior to access the bolts. At $100/hour that adds up pretty fast.
