Abstract
A truck cab of the cab-over-engine design having equipment compartments adjacent the front of the engine compartment adjacent the radiator and grill. The equipment compartment includes an opening substantially at the front of the truck cab having a pivot-mounted corner panel for closing the equipment compartment and for forming an exterior surface of the truck cab. The pivot mounting pivots the corner panel forward as the corner panel rotates so that the corner panel may be rotated through approximately 180 degrees while also providing a surface flush with the remainder of the truck cab when the corner panel closes the equipment compartment.
