Pictures of old American Cabovers and other junk

anorak:
Somehow, it doesn’t look as daft, now we can see how it works. Maybe form does follow function, after all. How did/do operators of those massive-cabbed tractors cope with the extra weight, within the US maximum gross of- what is it- 80,000lbs? Do they only take lighter loads?

That isn’t going to be much heavier than a normal truck of similar wheelbase (I reckon that’s a 265" or thereabouts) but the drivers are likely to be a husband and wife team, both of whom weigh over 350lbs and they probably have a couple of 200lb Pitbulls too :laughing:
