Truck Upfit Alumnium Vs. Steel


So I'm exploring on some upfit options for a F350 SRW with a flatbed chasis, toolboxes mounted underside and sides of flatbed.

real world savings on fuel with aluminum vs. steel?

who makes a good flat bed alum body? i'm thinking Highway Products but they are on the pricey side at $6000 for the alum bed, not sure how much for them toolboxes.
