GMC Cab-over

Apparently the original cab-overs were a workaround for maximum vehicle length restrictions. In a crash situation this might leave a driver feeling a bit vulnerable... 
Today they're so rare as be a spotting game for my kid while we're out driving,,

  1. This early style of GMC cabover was nicknamed the "crackerbox"; it was replaced in 1969 by the GMC Astro 95 which lasted until the end of GMC heavy-duty tractor-trailer production in the mid '80s.
