Question for a cabover guru...

Wow, how did this become a Euro truck question?

 

IMO. longer 100'' full height cabin on coe truck is the source of problems.... really. becouse all new cabs are made of steel (safety issues) and really heavy. so imagine how hard is to tilt big cab. Magnum owners know!

 

I saw FLA with extended cab. Looks like factory built but seems to me it is custom one.

Unfortunatly US truck makers keep build cabovers designed more 10 years ago generally for export (Argosy, 9800i) and I sugest no new cabovers they will make, becouse if they need cabover they can use EU cab, like KW sells DAF LF and CF with KW logo now.

 

Kenworth had a 112 aero standup double bunk. You could stand behind the seats. Do not see to many anymore. look on truck paper you can see most models.

Nice but was this question about American trucks?

 

I had a K100 with the big aerodyne sleeper. It had lots of room. K100 cabs were notoriously week and had cracking problems.

 

No old cabover meets new cab safety regulations. Really modern cabovers are much better.

 

That wasn't what the OP asked.
