They've all been exported, mostly to Mexico and of all places, Russia.

Especially when trying to thread your way through Boston. We have several guys at work who would sell their souls for Ford C7000's.

(Heck, I'm one of them...I don't do Boston very often---thank the Fates---I just like C7000's.)

I believe they should go along with the other Conventional trucks on the Interstate. Without the Cabovers how come we have good sleepers today? Anyway the COE's are scattered all over the US.

I saw a REAL nice late 70's freightliner cabover out in utah two weeks ago. It was all polished out with big dual stacks and dual breathers sticking out back. It was nice. and you just don't see many of them.

A cabover is a great low buck way to get into o/o status. We just sold a mid 80's freighliner cabover with low miles, big cam cummins with a 13 speed. Sold it for $4k cash. I like the looks fo the freighliner cabovers, they look mean. I also like the older pete's. My dad's frst truck was a 73 pete cabover with the v8 cummins and 13 speed direct. Talk about a dog.

I think it was international who had cabovers with lat flors in them so there really wasn't much difference than a conventional. Of course it had that set back axle and looked like a bus from the outside.

I dont know too much about cabovers. I just know that they are ALOT cheaper than the others. My dad has a friend that has a NICE Kenworth COE. I dont know the model. The last time I saw it, it was really nice, but hell, thats been YEARS.
