Work Truck Wednesday 10-17-18 - Secret Hidden Storage Haven!



This secret hidden storage haven is called a transverse compartment and is available on any utility or service body from the 2500HD 8' single rear wheel to the 11' or longer body on the dual rear wheel models, including the upcoming 2019 4500-6500HD medium-duty models as well as the current Low Cab Forward tilt-cab chassis.

This option can be configured in numerous ways, and what is shown here is a 3-drawer setup which would be ideal for contractors who use a lot of small fittings and such in their business. Just imagine the number of small parts that can be carried in these long drawers! Yet nobody knows they are there until you pull the drawers all the way out as in the top photo.

With the transverse compartment, you do lose a little bit of storage space in the bed area but it is up against the cab. But, now you can reach anything in the bed without climbing up in the bed area. Also, the compartment typically only goes through the bed area to the backside of the opposite side compartment like the one shown, but it can be set up to go all the way through the body too.

The truck shown is a Knapheide service body and is shown in a 9' dual rear wheel body on a 60" cab-to-axle 3500HD. This is a great unit which will carry a lot of weight and still has the turning radius almost the same as a standard pickup truck.

There are so many solutions that you may not be aware that we can customize just for your business.

If this option is something that would benefit your business, give us a call at 951-252-2980 and we will be happy to get the perfect configuration for you.

Work Truck Wednesday Oct 10, 2018 - Landscaping Is A Year-Round Business!







In Southern California and the Southwest, landscaping is not seasonal. It is a year-round business. There is always something to do in keeping landscaping in good shape and growing well, whether it is cutting down, trimming, mowing, removing leaves and other debris, laying new sod, just to mention a few. And, having the right truck that can haul materials to and from a job, but also dump it out when needed and carry tools and team members wherever they job takes them is a benefit to efficiency and effectiveness, as well as benefiting the bottom line.

Enter the 10' Scelzi Steel Landscape Body mounted on the Chevrolet 3500HD dually Crew Cab that seats six passengers nicely. With a 13,200 lb. GVWR, this truck can carry the load, and with the 6.6 Duramax diesel and 6-speed HD Allison transmission, you can even tow other equipment as needed and do it with plenty of power and great fuel economy as well. It's the perfect landscape truck!

This unit is our stock number M17732 and you can see more about this truck and body here. Or, better yet, give us a call at 951-252-2980 for more information on this or other trucks that we have ready to go to work in stock.

Subject to prior sale.

Get Organized with Service Body Drawers!


Service Bodies, which are sometimes called Utility Bodies are one of the most popular truck bodies in the U.S., and for good reason. They have lockable compartments with shelves, typically open-top lids for small parts or long tools, and bed area similar to an 8' pickup bed area, and more.

There are many who carry small parts to do work in the field, or they want to organize their tools and such. In this case, the service body drawers are the perfect answer. They are available in different sizes. In this image, there are three 3" and two 5" tall drawers. In addition, you can one drawer or the maximum that will fit in the compartment, and of course, you can have them installed in multiple compartments as well, including the horizontal compartment.

Get organized with HD drawers! Call us at 951-252-2980.
