An air deflector for a vehicle such as a cab-over-engine truck is described comprising a conical-shaped member positioned at the forward end of the truck. The conical-shaped member includes a centrally disposed leading portion designed to deflect the air over the vehicle cab, laterally around both sides of the cab, and downwardly beneath the cab. A pair of wing portions are disposed laterally and rearwardly of the leading portion and have air scoops formed therein for directing the deflected air rearwardly closely along opposite sides of the cab. An opening is formed in the lower central portion of the conical-shaped member forwardly of the truck radiator to enable cooling air to be supplied to the radiator of the truck. A perforated door is pivotally mounted in the opening and is normally positioned in a substantially vertically disposed position when the truck is not moving. The perforated door is pivotally moved upwardly and rearwardly upon wind forces being applied thereto so that the door is then in substantially the same plane as the lower forward portion of the conical-shaped member in which the door is mounted.
