From speaking to some family members alot of the cabover (with lutton areas) removal trucks don't allow the cab to tilt while the body is in place. All the regular maintenance can be done from the access areas and some more complicated items from underneath (I know kaye's not going to like that idea!). However something major like an engine swap requires the body to be lifted.
With a newish or fully overhauled (by someone you trust!) engine and some thought into making the body easily removable I wouldn't have a problem with this (as someone pointed out the milage and weight in this configuration is peanuts compaired to commercial service).
What do you think?
