Can you use the sleeper heads you sell for the shells and floaters on the fullbodies??

Illsheds,
I don't work for Avery but I know that the floaters and shells take two different sleeper heads due to the design and the way the head attaches to the body.
Also if I'm not mistaken, I do believe that the FB's are also quite different in design... So unofficially I don't think you can. I hope for your sake that I'm mistaken. I'm sure someone who knows for sure will be along shortly.

You can but with modifications and they really need to be permenantly attached once done. I can get a picture if you are really interested.

That is an awesome set up, Doug. I did the same thing to some full bodies before the full body sleepers came out.

Following Doug's innovative lead a couple of years ago I made a few FB sleepers...they were a snap to make.

Thanks for all the feedback, when I went home I noticed the heads are different but I will try and modify a few just for the heck of it.

We have so many different connection types. What connection do you have on your full bodies? We have a bunch of older sleeper heads. We will make you a sweet deal on some if you are interested.
Thanks,

Speaking of sleeper heads, I ordered some for my Oversize Floaters and they don't fit. I didn't realize the old ones had a different head connection. Did I order the wrong ones or should I just cut the connection off the heads and screw them on?

I have the twist on type, I just have a few "extras" that I would like to convert over to sleepers

Crawler,
Call customer service and see if we can exchange them for the ones you need.
Thanks,

The ones we have are not flocked. They are the 2003 models. They screw on and do not have the recessed base. The base is flat.
