Abstract
A lock assembly for retaining a tiltable cab structure in a normal operating position relative to the body structure of a truck. Each lock assembly comprises two transversely spaced latches, each including a keeper attached to one of the structure, a latch member attached to the other structure and mounted for movement into and out of a closed position to effect latching engagement with the keeper, and an operating lever movable between an unlocking position in which the latch member is disengageable with the keeper and a locking position in which the latch member is retained in engagement with the keeper. A releasing linkage interconnects the operating levers for simultaneously moving the operating levers between the locking and unlocking positions.
