I Don't know exactly, But Not very many at all I only know 3-4. But may be More.. 5 hours ago, Ryibs said: Do any of them still exist? I believe this one is still about & still working. A much modified GH Hino Tilt Tray (roll off to you) with a Cab from a Crane.. 2 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66566-strick-cab-under/#findComment-472729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
