This is a custom job we did recently on a Reading Classic II body. It has some unique features such as a Vanair Underdeck system and some custom RC boxes. Other additional accessories were also added to complete the truck. The customer does airport runway lighting and needed this custom setup for full service and versatility on the jobsite. 

Above are photos of the Vanair Underdeck system. The apparatus is composed of a compressor and generator, and all the controls are located in one of the service body compartments. The compressor goes up to 160 CFM and the generator has an output of 6.6 KW. Power is provided to the system hydraulically via the PTO. 

Custom RC basket boxes were designed for additional storage. We spaced them up for installation to keep water from sitting between the side pack and the basket. RC makes custom boxes to fit the needs of each customer as well as multiple different variations of standard boxes which can be found here. 

Shown in the top two photos is the strobe lightbar and its controller. Compartment lighting is a nice feature that makes finding that missing tool a little bit easier. 

The air supply from the Underdeck system runs conveniently to a small hatch in the rear of the truck. This hatch keeps the air fittings in pristine condition rather than letting them rust or corrode out in the weather. As you can see in the top right, there is a Reelcraft retractable air hose reel tucked away in the compartment providing just the right length of hose when needed. Additionally, there is a Reelcraft fuel hose mounted on top of the side pack tied to a Weatherguard fuel tank. This makes for easy refueling when on the jobsite.

For protection, we added diamond plate chip guards to keep the truck from getting scratched up. The entire bed of the service body, bumper, and custom basket boxes were spray lined as a durable protective coating. 

A Xantrex power intverter was placed in the passenger side horizontal compartment for a quick plug in. This makes charging your tools as easy as ever and keeps your battery from getting to low with an automatic low voltage shut off. 

Finally, a look at all of the combined storage available on the service body. Tested for road vibration, and equipped with a worthy reputation, a C-tech drawer unit was added for more consolidated and organized storage.

Here is a look at some new equipment that has recently come to the work truck industry. This is the Ranger Trazer product line which is a module based setup. Get the rack, the boxes, or the over the cab extension as separate pieces, or get them as a package. 

Above is a closer look at the boxes and rack. The Trazer setup has preinstalled rack straps for easy cargo management, and comes with a shelf in one of the boxes for storage. The boxes will hold ranger bins for quick organization, or if you've got some Milwaukee Packout gear, it will fit nicely on the lower shelf. 

A final look at the Trazer combo.
