Very early Arrows were built on Oshkosh chassis until the Pierce chassis plant was complete. Early Arrows used larger, squared-off headlight trim, compared to the ones used later. The second style of trim was introduced during 1983. Until the early '90's, the Arrow front doors were cut at an angle and did not follow the contour of the wheel-well.
