A passenger cab and livery vehicle is adapted from a pickup truck cab and frame by removing part of the original frame aft of the cab and replacing it with an extended frame connected to the original frame and extending aft in a long flat region supporting a passenger cabin floor. A cabin mounted on the extended frame can receive and accommodate wheelchair passengers through a passenger door wide enough for a wheelchair. A principal passenger seat faces aft in the passenger cabin behind the cab to protect the passengers in a frontal collision, and a second passenger seat can be mounted on a rear axle clearance region aft of the flat cabin floor to face forward.
