ABSTRACT:
A truck which is designed to utilize its design length to the maximum effectiveness. The truck includes a frame upon which are mounted an elongated cargo bed and a cab for the operator at the forward end thereof. The power plant for the truck is located rearwardly of the cab near the center of the vehicle so that space will not be required at the front of the vehicle as in conventional truck constructions. The cab sits between the laterally spaced front wheels, and access thereto is provided by a door which is located in the front face of the cab whereby the cab may be entered and exited without climbing over the front wheels and enclosing fender structures.
