Unless someone makes a short range low payload 777 conversion. Maybe someone could find use for those but I doubt that would be a huge market.
Im a little confused here Boeing built 422 200ERs and 88 straight 200s. The original A and B models would not make good freighters as they have the same volume with a massively low takeoff weight for an aircraft of its size. But the 200ER would be fine. But the problem with the 777 is the wing span. It takes a huge parking spot while a 767/MD11 does not. Either way the freighters of the future will be the A350F and the 767F (I know crazy it’s still going after 40+ years) and the 777LRF.
