Theme Tuesday: Cab Over Engine Trucks

Apr 28, 2015

Just based on sheer size alone cab over trucks are capable of drawing a crowd. Put them on the ground with a cool hot rod hanging off the back and you’ve got the makings of a bonafide show stealer.

If anyone in Ontario (or better yet the GTA) can point me in the direction of a modified cab over please do, I’d been keen to check out in person. Until then I live through pictures!

coe16 — The exhaust pipes suggest a pretty high ride height, but here’s hoping he lets ’em scrape!

coe19 — The lack of bumper and bed really exaggerates how flat and wide these cabs are

coe23-dodge — I believe this is a mid 50s dodge coe

coe6 — Something tells me the owner of this truck might be a little eccentric…

coe12 — Fat 57 Customs Chevy out of Australia built this one and a photos of it have gone viral several times over

coe4 — I wonder what it is like to drive a low vehicle from a high view-point?

coe7 — I know for a fact I have posted this car before, it was one of the first cab over trucks to really catch my eye

coe3 — This Chevy is simply beautifully done

coe1 — Diedelson’s Kustoms built this truck and it too is fairly well known

sema_2013_gmc_1954_cabover_rear — Disappointed in myself for not going to SEMA in 2013 to see this

coe248ford — Big old ford

coe9 — Powered by a crate motor.

coe10 — Chopped and shaved really gives this Chevy a pretty unique look

coe11 — Neat little detail here too, wonder what the story is?

coe13 — Brett Sloan seems be around COE trucks quite a bit, lucky guy

This truck was the subject of a post all its own a few months ago

coe14 — Everything is bigger in Texas, except for wheel gap of course

coe15 — Flawless execution of a theme here

coe24 — COEs hauling stuff inbound

coe20 — I really like the subtle embossed flakes on this truck. I imagine a Mooneyes sticker is hidden somewhere on it too

coe8 — Another flame job, though more traditional

coe17 — I imagine this entire set up is worth insane amounts of money

coe21 — If a glossy trucks with shiny payloads are not your thing maybe you will like this combo

coe25 — Close things out with this cab over based hot rod which is something I have never seen before

If you are interested in more cab over trucks there is an excellent Flickr group full of them right here.

How did this one not make the list? https://www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CAcQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fjustacarguy.blogspot.com%2F2014%2F11%2Fexpanded-gallery-on-international.html&ei=eHxAVe-xAYHnggSiqYOYCA&bvm=bv.91665533,d.eXY&psig=AFQjCNHd01UpkdSRCZrzquLMxfWikaujJQ&ust=1430375924270716

  That is a ridiculously good question.

Where’s the engine on the last truck? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was electric…

  I think I see a fuel tank, but looking for more on that truck is on my list of things to do!
