Default Cabover - alternate cab method

Regarding my previous post about the "Cowboy Cadillac" manufacturer. I found out the owner is a major scam artist, so use the pics on his website only as reference since he didn't build any of them.
Here's an alternate idea for the cab: instead of a tilt cab, install a linear bearing/rail setup and use air, electric, or hydroelctric pistons/actuators to lift the cab straight up to access the engine. Then you could have a close fit to the coach section and probably keep the air ride suspension. Just a thought. Would require some creative engineering but is possible.
