A truck of the cab-over-engine type is disclosed herein and includes a cab which has a front windshield and opposite side doors and which is mounted over the truck's engine and many of the engine's cooperating components including its radiator for pivotal movement between an upstanding operating position and a tilted maintenance position. The truck also includes a frontal nose hood which carries a grille, front bumper and headlights and which is mounted to the cab in front of the radiator and forward of the front windshield for pivotal movement between a closed, generally vertical operating position in front of the radiator and a tilted open position. The frontal nose hood, when in its closed operating position, extends upward in front of the cab such that its top edge lies immediately in front of and adjacent to the bottom edge of the front windshield and extends rearward on opposite sides and outward of the cab so that its opposite side edges are adjacent to the edges of the cab doors closest to the front of the truck. Other features of this truck include the ability to step up on the nose hood to reach the front windshield and to pivot the cab to its tilted position only after the nose hood has been moved to its open position.
