THIS Is Why America Stopped Making Cab-over Trucks In this video, we dive into the fascinating history of American cab-over trucks and explore why they disappeared from the market in the 60s and 70s, while the rest of the world still produces them. We cover the advantages and disadvantages of cab-overs versus long-nosed trucks and the reasons behind the switch. Join us as we explore the rules and regulations that led to the decline of the cab-over and the rise of the long-nose truck. We also discuss the possibility of the cab-over making a comeback in America and what that would mean for the industry. So, grab a seat and let's explore the world of cab-over trucks together!
