Chassis cab

A chassis cab, also called a cab chassis or half truck, is a type of vehicle construction, often found in medium duty truck commercial vehicles.

Instead of supplying the customer with a factory pre-assembled flatbed, cargo container, or other equipment, the customer is given the vehicle with just chassis rails and a cab.

Cutaway van chassis are similar vehicles, but have specific components at the rear[further explanation needed] whereas chassis cabs usually do not have additional components.

Vehicles of this type are produced by Ford,[1] Chevrolet/GMC,[2] and Ram Trucks.

A number of 1950s cars were supplied as chassis cabs for coachbuilders to convert into hearses, ambulances, shooting brakes.
