Wikipedia under ''Sutphen'' mentions the concept truck saying that the bucket doubled as the tiller cab. Never made it to production. No pics that I can find.

They had 1 at a couple shows but then never saw it again

Also a Fire Engineering article from 1998 that I was unable to read.

Yep. I know of some guys who actually saw it in person and they all said it looked goofy.
