There's something brutally honest about those cabovers.
A rudimentary tin can perched on a frame.
All the crudeness of a Trabant and the luxury accommodations of a jail cell.

Does this count as a "big truck"?

 

[commando1]

IMHO, a "big truck" requires a Class A license to be driven.
But it doesn't mean I wouldn't love that big pickup as part of my fleet.
Unfortunately, I'm willing to bet that truck will never see so much as a load of mulch.

The cab/sleeper of a IHC Transtar II is a tinny cold place at 3am in late fall kind of like a jail cell just not as square.

For those of you not familiar with the lingo
