Ferrara Introduces The "Cinder" Custom Chasis

[ffemtwakeman]

Common misconception, but HME doesn't build the Intruder II cab. It's built by Truck Cab Manufacturers Inc. out of Cncinnatti, OH (truck cab.com). The incomplete cab is then shipped to the manufacturer (either Ferrara or HME) to be completed, mounted to a chassis and branded. I would assume that the Ember is built by TCM as well as it is almost identical to the Intruder except for the grille and windshield. I'm not sure about the other cabs, but I am under the impression that Ferrara builds the Inferno and Igniter in house (I'm skeptical about the Ultra as it is almost identical to the Seagrave Attacker HD). This may be a move to distance themselves from the misconception of using an HME product, or a way to become a true "sole source" manufacturer. Either way I like the look.
