who makes this truck body?

Looks like a Ford.

I think that's been Photoshopped. arty:

i know its a ford but who makes that type of utility body. it matches the oem body perfectly but is also a utility body.

 

[bert0168]

Chevy/GMC was/is the only company that I know of that makes an OEM utility body.

Whatever truck that is, that body is OEM and I don't see one on fords website,

I'm pretty sure it's not real

 

[dkillianjr]

I wish I could remember who makes those, I'll keep brain storming:laughing:. I've seen a couple of them around here. There're pretty cool.

I have seen them on different sites. They are a real utility body, not a photoshop.

From what I remember, people said the quality isnt very good, but you never know

No P/S!


Seen dozens of them!!!

The vet my wife hires for her goats has one - I think on the F350 power stroke 3/4 ton frame, it cost her $55k.

I could be wrong though.

Here is a company that offers something similiar http://www.svefleet.com/us/Home.aspx (front compartment only)

I am pretty sure a Ford Fleet dealer can point you to the company that does it

I've seen one...nicely constructed.

3 minutes of google.

They also make them for GM trucks, looks like the Dodge fans are out of luck.

There may be others that manufacture similar bodies, but this is the only one I found.

[airhose]

thanks tgeb that is exacttly what i was looking for.

 

[bert0168]

Yes but that isn't an OEM body. You can't tell me the OP picture isn't the OEM bed on that truck, well you can tell me that but no way it isn't the OEM bed :no::no::no:

Aftermarket utility body. Nice, but you won't find one with the OEM body lines.

Ooooo Ahhhh

:thumbsup:

 

[slowforthecones]

knaphide, stahl and a few others make real nice aerodynamic/flared utility bodies. Those bodies usually run around 10-15k new and in my opinion not worth it. For $3k you can get a extended height cap.

 

[scrapecc]

I have seen a couple of those running around, I have noticed they rust pretty fast. Every one I have seen has been rusty. Knapheid is what i have on my f350 its bulletproof!

 

[bert0168]

.......nevermind

That was a factory option from Ford for a few years.

They were not very heavy duty and most either rusted, leaked water, or broke.
