Now that could be cool. Or even rear engine. Do a COE with nothing under there, build a custom fab's bed that hides the engine. Man, that just sounds kickass.

That is my disease right there, a line of thinking that not everyone else can understand....
Thats just how my mind works(or at least what I have left)

COE's rock!
Joker,
I love COE's. Just missed one a while back & moped around for weeks after that. It was cheap too, that made it even worse!

SMOKIN' dually's!!!
Mastr,
Channel it hard & slam in a mid engine BIG block!!! Sounds like fun! They are so tall u can channel 'um & still have plenty of room in the cab. I would love to see a BB COE do a smokeout with dually's. Now that would b a pretty site!!!
Note to self: Slammed mid engine BB dually COE... put on your list of things to do!!!

Here's a quick and dirty, rather raw of a cabover.
By my crude measurements, dropped about 13 inches, sectioned about 4 inches in the middle. Fenders/bumpers removed. Perspective is a bit off because of the pic I found was a pain to work with.
Anyway, like I said, it's a quick and dirty, thrown together in about 10 minutes. Should give you an idea though of how something like that might work.

This is what I started with:
So you can see, the whole perspective of that truck is screwy to begin with. But just to give you an idea of the measurements that I estimated for the drop and section.

When I opened this page, the sight of that monstrosity scared me. That's a pretty cool idea although I don't think that I would section it as much, if any, because it starts to look a bit like a regular pick-up cab.

Maybe it'd look better on say an early 40's Dodge power wagon
