Title: Truck operator's cab with equipment control station

Abstract: An operator cab for an over-the-road truck includes a forward disposed driver's compartment and a separate equipment control station disposed rearwardly of the driver's compartment. The control station includes a control panel disposed below a window in the rear wall of the cab. The cab provides standing head room at the control station whereby equipment on board the truck may be monitored and controlled from the control station and instrumentation on the driver's compartment instrument panel may also be viewed by the operator at the control station. A combination bunk and operator's seat is disposed across the interior of the cab between the driver's compartment and the control station and, together with foldable curtains disposed within the interior of the cab, defines a convertible sleeping compartment.
