Why did the cab-over type truck become not so popular?
I wondered the same thing after a long road trip in the USA and not seeing a single one. Part of the story is that the length limits were once much more strict so having a shorter semi-tractor truck allowed them to have a longer trailer and carry more cargo. Cab-over trucks were ideal for this. Another consideration is that the longer wheelbase front-engine style trucks are said to have a better ride and cab-over trucks are awkward to service because everything in the cabin falls forward when you tilt up the cab. Some claim that aerodynamics are better for non cab-over trucks but that's hard to verify and probably varies widely. Finally it's worth noting that in Europe most trucks are still cab-over type because they are more maneuverable and distances are shorter. Fuel is even more expensive in Europe too, so if there was a tremendous aerodynamic difference there would be a strong incentive to use whatever truck design had the best fuel economy.

Special army trucks, called amphibious trucks, can travel and land and through shallow rivers. The underside of the truck is tightly sealed so that water can't flood the cab or engine. This seems sort of useless, but it helps in some cases.

If you mean: "can the sonoma 4.3v6 run with the fuel pump for the sonoma 4.3v6 crew cab?" the answer is yes, as long as both trucks have the same engine they are the exact same pump.
