I think you nailed it. There used to be some shops around that modified truck cabs for the railroad and other outfits that needed cabs that held more than three people before crewcabs were readily available. The factories would ship trucks to these shops and they converted the trucks much the same way that the motor home outfits convert vans into motorhomes now. Do the mods and then ship them on to the dealer for delivery. The loggers and oil rig guys usually beat them to death in short order but a lot of them that the railroad, forest service or whatnot had seemed to survive.
