joey-- that's the way my kingsley was done--- 4 years and 56,000 miles ago. it's worked great. we've been to fairbanks and lots of other places. i really don't see any down sides to doing it this way. good luck. mase

I called Indiana Truck Parts and they sent me a kit and told me how to hook down their boot. I haven't put the foam and wrapped it with vinyl yet, but it hasn't leaked a bit. I had to cut down the boot from what they sent me and then I used some flat bar aluminum and self taping screws to help hold it in place. The kit if I remember right was around $100.

Mine is an airride freightliner FLD120 and I left the sleeper on and put captains chairs int the sleeper. 1 year and 10000 miles. No problems.

Greetings,
I have been reading posts as a guest for some time, but never had an informed thing to say. hopefully, I know have something to add. I just bought accordion seal from http://www.uni-grip.com/ and they were very helpful, let alone inexpensive. They have multiple widths and sell it by the foot.

Someone had said earlier that no one ever responded after getting advice through the forum, so I figured I would add my 2 cents.

By the way, Great forum. I just bought the truck (FL60 w/ 24' box) and now I'm headed for a whole lot of work.

Thanks,

Doc Weaver

I received the seal from Uni-grip and I'm impressed. It will compress to 2" and expand to 7". It has a built in "U" clip on both sides that clips to the sheet metal. Good thickness and still very pliable. Shipped to me for less than one hundred dollars. not bad at all
