Is he telling the truth?

I have what would appear to be a very similar model Zenith in mahogany.
As jr tech mentioned the metal rear grill is formed to extend out about 2" from the back edge of the cabinet. My Zenith has a 16GP4 crt whose socket is just exactly flush with the rear edge of the wood cabinet. Even at that it's still mighty vulnerable sitting there like that with no back to protect it. As bgadow has suggested a piece of wood over the back during shipment would be a good idea, or removing the chassis/crt assembly and shipping and packing it separately is even better. Good luck with it.
