Cab's didn't tilt on these 'ol boys. As the description states, the cabs are indeed sitting over the engine. I've owned close to 30, of these '47-'55 G.M. COE's, & can tell ya. They aren't easy to work on. I've gotten use to them myself. I love 'em. You have two floor pans, & a center engine hump to remove, for full access to the engine. They use a updraft carburetor, which actually hangs downward from the manifold. G.M. didn't have COE's that had tilting cabs until 1959, & '60. The only thing under the hood, is the radiator.
