    To be honest I haven't seen many cab overs compared to a few years ago except around harvest a lot of the local farmers seem to have older cab overs.

    I have been seeing alot more of them also and was wondering the same thing. I think guys are picking them up cheap and fixing them up, I really like to see good looking C/Os rolling down the highway, I allways liked the looks of the old Petes an KWs.

    In Ukraine there are old International 9600/9800 keep running, sometimes I see FLA, K100 and some old rigs with made with riviets cabines.

    But there are many old european and russian COE trucks, some in good shape, some really bad... I see old rigs, like Mercedes SK ore MAZ500....

    I think they're really cool... and if you stretched the frame and dropped in an an engine/trans out of a newer truck... from a wreck, for example - you could get one together pretty cheap.
