They are, thats my old DC. Michael Schramm did those tubs after I traded him the DC for his Binz DC.

I think that too often people just tub the front end to say that they did it. When it comes right down to it you can seriously hammer the shit out of a Bus without ever cutting the body. I don't think that butchering the shit out of the sheetmetal is worth the extra inch or maybe two that they are getting out of the hacking.
I suppose I'm something of a traditionalist (read: "outdated") in my thinking that tubbing and cutting the body is "cheating" and none of the guys I associate with have ever done nor will ever do it.
