Abstract: A novel low profile vehicle, and a novel method for converting normal profile vehicles into the same, is disclosed. The low profile vehicle disclosed herein is adapted for use in a variety of applications, such as mining operations and aircraft maintenance applications. Selected components and assemblies found in a normal profile vehicle are removed from the normal profile vehicle's original frame and retained and/or modified for use in a completed low profile vehicle in accordance with the present invention. The operator's cab of the original normal profile vehicle is modified for use in the completed low profile vehicle. A frame extension is added to the forward end of the frame of the normal profile vehicle to form a split level frame in a position forward of the front wheels. The cab is shortened and otherwise modified and attached to the frame extension.
