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…
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.
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

Look at the original post, none of them are CoE.
I responded to your comment that said they have never been a thing. never.

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.
