These are your cabovers from 67-72 era. The last cabover to share any similarity in sheet metal to light trucks was Advance Designs. Low Cab Forward design took the place of COE in Task Master body style. This continued through the 60-66 body till the '67 when the medium duty conventional cab had the front just slightly snubbed with engine tucked deep into firewall and the COEs took over for any shorter requirements.

These photochops could never work. They make cool pictures but it doesn't take much looking to see they could never be functioning machines as they appear in pictures.
