    Simple............"frontal crash safety"; and resulting lawsuits/liability against the manufacturer's, but I'm sure aerodynamics also played a role in improving MPG. How many Cab-Over design semi-tractor trailer big-rigs do you see on the freeways nowadays???

    The coolest cabover design pick-up ever created was the Hot Wheels "Deora" from 1967/1968 era with the surf boards.

    Without a doubt, both the Dodge Deora I (original 1967 version) & II (modernized 21st Century updated version with bubble curved windshield) were the most radical and coolest cab-over design pick-up trucks ever created by mankind. Both were built as a full-size 1:1 scale drivable vehicle (only one of each version were ever built). Like our VX, they are forever immortalized as a real Hot Wheels toy car.

    Enjoy.
