Semi Truck Short Nose Pewter Pin
The Semi Truck Short Nose Pin shows cab-over designs where the engine sits under the cab instead of extending forward—maximizing cargo capacity by minimizing tractor length. These trucks dominated before length regulations changed, and they still appear in situations where maneuverability and maximum trailer length matter. The flat-nose design is distinctive and instantly recognizable.
Perfect for drivers who've operated cab-overs, trucking historians who appreciate design evolution, or anyone who values efficiency over aesthetics. Short-nose trucks prove that function drives form when regulations and economics demand it. Makes a unique gift for someone who appreciates trucking history and practical design.
Choose from multiple finishes to match your style. Built with materials sourced from long-established U.S. suppliers and finished by hand in Washington. It's wearable art that represents the era when every foot of length mattered.
