Chevy COE's for sale so far away? North Dakota, Northern California, Canada, Minisota and on and on. Hardly anything here in Texas worth looking at.

I see alot of cabs only for some reason. Guy not too far away has maybe 3 complete cabs. Guess they're alot easier to store

A guy on the HAMB, PovertyFlats, sent me pics out his way (KS?) just recently. They are out there, just got to find them. Good luck, I love them!

It may be because the short nose cab over trucks were probably more popular further East where driving conditions were more congested and the roads had a lot more curves in them. It's still pretty much the same as Cab over semi trucks are popular in the East and long nose Semi trucks are more popular in the West. I don't think I have seen a dozen cab over AD trucks in this area running or sitting in the past 30 years. And with the same token there are probably 100 1-1/2 ton and bigger AD trucks that still get worked on the farms or otherwise every year here in the valley.
