You can't buy one because it has never existed, no truck ever had a 40/60 cab to bed ratio except for custom jobs made from using the front of a van with a truck bed.
Cab over engine trucks have existed for a very long time and have models that would absolutely have ~60% of their foot print be bed
CoE pickups haven't been a thing outside of commercial vehicles for decades, hell, the VW vanagon might have been the last one in the 80s for the North American market...
Look at the original post, none of them are CoE.
I responded to your comment that said they have never been a thing. never.
Which was a reply to someone saying they want something like the second one from the left, which is an engine forward truck with 60% bed, which has never existed.
A Jeep FC-170 was 60% bed, but that's like saying "Just get a Hino and have someone make a bed for it and daily drive it".
The only thing that's higher than 60% and that could still be considered a non commercial offering is a VW Bus Transporter at 61% bed since the nose is flatter (engine at the back) but it still doesn't match "the second from the left" as asked by that other person.
I don't know where they found the 64% bed truck and outside of commercial offerings (so it doesn't have to meet regular safety standards) there's no way to get a modern version of a truck with 60% bed unless it has a ridiculously long bed.
I never contradicted any of this, I don't know of a modern one. You said they never existed... They did.
They didn't, no engine forward truck ever had a 40/60 ratio cab to bed.
