The above trucks with the "L" cabs are still "B" models using the unitized B model nose. The LT's used a fender design more like an old Peterbilt or Kenworth.
Personally, being 6'1" tall with long legs, I would prefer the L style cab.
And no... You just cant beat the look. :)

B73's could also use the L cab, 73's were Cummins powered and 75's were Mack powered. Cummins power were 220's, 250's and 335's. The B cab was standard the L cab was the option.
Photo of last B model built in 1966.

I went and got the cylinders for my cab. One has a bent rod they both had water in them and the rods are all the way out and rusty but they move so maybe i can clean them up and make 2 from 4.
