ABSTRACT:
A stay can be used to support a cab of a tilt cab vehicle selectively in a first raised position in which the cab has been pivoted through an angle of, for example, 40.degree. and the stay is in compression, and in a second raised position in which the cab has been pivoted through a larger angle of, for example, 50.degree. and the stay is in tension. The stay comprises an arm pivoted to the cab and an arm pivoted to the vehicle frame. The ends of the arms overlap and are connected by means of a pin which passes through specially shaped slots extending in each arm. The pin is formed with offset pairs of flats which cooperate with the slots in the arms, and the pin can be rotated by a lever which controls operation of the stay.
