Work Truck Wednesday Features Morgan Stakebed On LCF 3500 Chassis

 

For efficient moving of cargo from one place to another, there is nothing quite as effective as a stakebed truck. The gates can very easily be removed to allow forklift loading and then reinstalled by one person. This particular truck is perfectly suited for city deliveries because it has only a 109" wheelbase and yet sports a 12' truck bed. The turning radius on this chassis is so small that it can turn a circle in less space than an 8' pickup truck. In fact, in most cases, you can do a 360-degree turn in the average city street!

This LCF (Low Cab Forward) is equipped with a 6.6-liter gas V8 and because of how the cab is designed the driver has outstanding visibility and comfort too. In addition, the overall length of this vehicle is about the same as that of a pickup truck with an 8' bed. Add to this great heavy-duty chassis the Morgan Prostake Platform body with lightweight metal gates and you have a very useful combination.
