Yes, it is quite fun to see personal growth as builder. I am glad I never
deleted my older brickshelf galleries.
With regards to the prototype trucks. They have sliding doors and steering
wheels on each side of the cabs. Most of the time I see the drivers operate
with the doors open with a rather large seatbelt. For some reason, I think I
have seen them with a sort of cord or chain across the doorway when the doors
are open as well. I could very well be confusing that with something else
though.

I kind of liked this overhang. I thought it gave it a more intimidating look.
Not that I planned it or anything. I'll throw an additional plate on there to see how it looks just the same.
Thanks for the idea!
Also, this cab was inspired quite a bit by your NYPD ESU truck cab.
