Re: rare cab
Maybe one on a firetruck years ago but not many for sure. That should make for an interesting truck.

Re: rare cab
Looked at one today! Glass is not repoped and is compound curves. Rubber is same as back standard back window. In fill panels look like they are just spot welded and seam sealed to a standard big window cab sheet metal stamping. Only came in GMC cab trim.
