knuckleharley Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Any driver would definitely have to remember that the first step down when getting out of the cab is a LOOOONG one. The good news is lack of driver visibility for road dangers ahead would not be a problem. Edited February 1, 2019 by knuckleharley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd B Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 You would think the amount of work it took to move that cab they could’ve just made the frame 6 feet longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinsailor Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just speculating, but the rules and laws were very restrictive back then, along with some pretty cramped city streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Could be that truck was modified to deliver max capacity to a State, or States, that had length limits on tractor-trailer combos at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I see the steering shaft poking out the bottom of the cab, but no apparent connection to the chassis. Could it have been converted to a full hydraulic steering system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
