That half-cab reminds me of some trucks I usually see either in airports or the surrounding areas. |

People practical fall off tour busses trying to photograph this car in Hollywood. Everyone you meet will love her. Loads of folks will yell "Jeepers Creepers,Yo," as they pass by referencing the horror film and incorrect car. Still others will take endless selfies while the truck is parked. Old people panic at sight of the thing. Young kids point in amazement. Party people cheer the moment the window opens and Fine Frozen Ice begins to flow and, Police....run the plates, pull up beside you, call out your name, and say "that's a Bad A__ rig man" then speed away as their partner gives a big thumbs up. There is no slight reaction to the sight of this truck in motion and everyone wishes it the best of intentions and projects onto it their dearest hopes dreams at first glance because it says... If this margarita truck is possible. What can I do... It is an inspirational American icon.

What's that behind the rear axle, the gas tank? 
I've got an album on the 1935 SIA competition that it was created for. ecomodder.com/forum/member-freebeard-albums-voiture+minimum.html

Half-cabins are not so usual in my country for cement trucks, honestly I haven't seen any upfitted that way. And even crane trucks don't resource to them so often.
