    Cabovers not classics???K100 double bunk 250" wheelbase is a very cool ride,heck I drove cabovers through most of the 80's.You have to like putting your cloths on laying down but you could have your significant other lay beside you on the doghouse so you wouldn't get too bored on those long trips.They were great to take to the drive-in movies too.

    It took a lot of effort to climb up in a cabover and it hurt when I fell out of one getting out.

    That KW Aerodyne double bunk with the windows up top was a large car back then. [​IMG]
    Never got to drive one but drove a K100 flat top.

    Don't remember that one. Looks nice though.
    I do remember a COE Brockway that was a clone to the F Model Mack.

    The COE model was I believe the 400-something like 459 or something like that, I never cared much for the COE Huskies

    I use to ride in one when I was a kid. It had a huge steering wheel. They were built tough. Cool old heavy trucks.

    They were tough as from sometime in the 50s to their demise in 77 they were actually owned by Mack, so both companies with a dog ornament on the hood were actually under the same family
