Cabovers

I liked COE when I hauled south. Doghouse is a nice feature for laying out maps, sandwiches etc. This is the last one I drove.
Not sure why companies don't buy them.Seems all the new drivers dont like conventional. They always knocking the ####ing fenders off them

 

i have the forward axle version of that truck ,Jazz1.

 

The big joke on most of them, you really look close, you’ll see, all these new trucks are just basically a cabover. LOL.

 

I feel your pain. As I mentioned before the ****heads at the EPA put the kibosh on the glider kit market recently (no more new gliders after 2021) and because of that,non-DEF trucks like cabovers as well as some conventional cabs are going to get snapped up quickly (and the prices for those will go up correspondingly).

 

Another keeper-if you can get an export permit. It’s in Canada.

For $38k US they can keep it. Really gotta watch those crooks down around there. I found a '97 Pete cabover listed on there for over $90k and they claimed it was recently "restored" too. Well it turned out the truck happened to be stored about 20 minutes away from a relative's place I was visting. I would have paid $10k tops for it. Tires were shot, brakes worn out, diff housings rotten, windshield busted and a bunch of other little things wrong.

 

I was picking up a old car few years back and this "project COE" sitting on property.

 

The price is $30 K now.

 

I got to take this one for a spin recently. It rides and drives really nice. Owner said this arodynamic wonder gets 5.5 MPG running hard and heavy.
