The 1950 Chevrolet Custom Cab Over Pickup featured here is one good looking truck. Known by several different names, the cab over models were called Cab Over Engine and Cab Forward in the U.S. General Motors produced both Chevy and GMC COE pickups during this period.
The medium duty Chevrolet COE pickup falls into a Class 1, 2 or 3 designation depending on it’s weight. As an example, GVWR of under 6,000 lbs is considered a Class 1. In contrast, a Class 8 truck specifically applies to large tractor trucks with GVWRs over 33,001 pounds. These are sizes you’ll see hauling large trailers typically on Interstate highways.

Advantage and Disadvantages of COE Trucks
COE trucks are considered to have better visibility and maneuvering. The truck could turn in a tighter circle. One large disadvantage with these trucks has to do with frontal collisions.
