Frieghtliner Day Cab Sizes (Late '60-'80)

[howsthat1959]

I've found a lot of info on the 63" length Frieghtliner day cabs but I've run across the odd photo of one with a shorter cab.

Did these trucks come in shorter cab lengths? If so, any idea what?

This is in reference to the AMT Freightliner COE I'd like to convert.

Thanks.

'70's and 80's Freightliner COE cab lengths...
63" was the "standard" day cab length. Also available as a 51" (shares some structure with the conventional) and extremely rare 48" which was manufactured primarily for a company that hauled large empty tanks. The 48" cab was pretty tight for most drivers.

COE Sleeper sizes - 75", 81", 86", 96" and 104". The 72" cab had a very narrow bunk but probably best not to call it a sleeper.
Conventional - FLC (aluminum) 120", 115" and 113"

Sleeper box sizes - 34", 40", and 60"

Some of the cab lengths were available, but not published options.

Great. Thanks for the info.

Those were pretty cool looking, barely enough room to keep a lunchbox and thermos.
