Boeing introduced the 747 Combi, an aircraft that offered the combination of passenger capacity alongside main deck cargo space and a proper cargo loading door. It was a unique proposition that proved popular with airlines from the 70s onwards.

The first official Boeing-produced 747 combi was the 747-200M, an aircraft equipped with a rear side-loading cargo door. Additionally, a moveable partition was installed in the passenger cabin, allowing for a capacity of up to 238 passengers in a three-class configuration.

The best-selling 747-400 launched in February 1989 with Northwest Airlines. Months later, Boeing delivered its first 747-400M, with the aircraft entering service with KLM in September of that year. Based on the previous combi versions, it had a large cargo door for loading pallets of freight at the rear, with a locked partition separating passengers and goods.

I think the 747 Combi variants would be cool as if you could convert them from normal 747s you could have the ability to do both passenger and cargo jobs however this conversion due to being very beneficial should be priced pretty highly at like 60 to 100k depending on the 747 being converted however it would be worth it as you could have the ability to do both passenger and cargo jobs in the same aircraft which would make you plenty of money.
