Looks to me like a older hot shot type of truck. DOT regs state the sleeper is supposed to be 10" wider than the truck. But i wonder how a cab over gets by with that reg. A lot of other trucks fall in the same catagory as the cab over.

Saw a 65 F100 (I think) in the shop the other day. Have some pictures but they're on my phone and I can't figure out how to get them onto the computer :thup: 8)
