    Love those 110” cabs with duals. Add a stretched frame and it’s one fine ride.

    Lately I’ve been seeing a resurgence of Pete cabovers popping up out of nowhere,followed by a few KWs and Internationals.
    On a sadder note,no thanks to the EPA it looks like the glider kit market is going the way of the dodo. It’s gonna be impossible to get an Argosy now.smh
     
    OLDSKOOLERnWV and Studebaker Hawk Thank this.

    Cabovers. If you HAVE to drive one to make a living they suck.
    But if you CHOOSE to drive one and you don’t have to run very hard and you fix it up, well, it could be pretty cool.
    I’ve put 17743 miles on my truck since feb 28th. I wouldn’t want to do that in a cabover.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    It seems like all of a sudden KW K100s are the in thing again.

    Haven't drove a Cabover in years, but I would without question. The aerodyne KW was one of my favorite trucks, makes putting your britches on a lot easier lol.

    For the rarity of it I would like to have Pop's old 1976 Cabover Peterbilt Patriot, if I only knew then lol.
