While I can't confirm nor deny this, I will say that this is more involved than just chopping a section out of the cab. This cab sits lower on the frame than normal. If this rig was built with a standard cab, then the aerial cradle has been lowered as well. If you compare this rig to a standard Arrow rearmount, you'll see that the turntable sits lower on the rig as well. The upper rear compartments on the side are smaller in height. This seems like a major undertaking for a dealer to rebuild, especially on a new rig and the rig appears in it's current form in the May-June, 1996 issue of FAJ. Everett's website shows it to be a 1996 model. Anyone know for sure?
