Here's a neat job we recently finished up! This customer is a landscape company that needs space for tools, the utility of a dump bed, and the ability it lower pallets of pavers and stones on a pallet. The 9ft dump bed has an electric/hydraulic hoist, drop down sides, front and rear flaps and a roll tarp. Here are a few pictures of the Tommy Gate dump through liftgate and the rear end. This gate will work as a liftgate and as a dump bed tailgate. This allows for the customer to get some added efficacies out on the job site. Rev-Packs are a great way add storage for tools and equipment! This style is tapered to better match the cab profile and has 2 doors for easy access to what's inside. There is a shelf inside for added storage.

Here is a short post on a Hillsboro 2000 Series aluminum flat bed. We installed this 9ft bed bed on a Ford F550 with a 84" CA. The 1/8" aluminum underbody boxes were also welded into the bed and add some nice storage space! Here are a few pictures of the rear end showing the LED lights, the rear apron hitch, and the flaps.
Here are some really neat trucks that we finished up. These are Reading Custom Enclosed Service Bodies and Western Mule Crane (bumper storage) mounted on Freightliner M2 Chassis. These bodies have and abundance of tool and equipment space! Here is a closer front/side view of one of the completed trucks. The driver's side has 2 C-tech drawer units installed in the 2nd and 3rd compartments. These are mostly used for tools and small parts and really help keep things organized! It's hard to show the amount of space available in this enclosed body! The entire body is powder coated in and out providing a durable paint finished even for the storage areas. We installed a Western Mule Bumper Crane on the rear of the body. This crane assembly is welded into the rear frame of the truck chassis and has a fold out crane(on the right), vise mount(the on left), and center fold down step. The crane has an electric hoist and is manual side to side. Everything folds up neatly into the bumper! The rear of the body has access doors for the customer's air hoses and fuel reels. In addition, we installed 4-corner LED flasher systems, LED work lights on the passenger side, and aftermarket backup cameras on the rear above the doors. We would love to hear from you on any truck projects you want to make happen! Thanks for checking out the post!
Here is a job we recently finished. This bed is a Zimmerman 14' dumpbed with fold down sides. The bed has an integrated rear end with lights, step, and hitch plate. The up-fit is mounted on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 6500 HD. One neat feature of Zimmerman dump beds is the built in tarp. Every Zimmerman dump bed comes with this style tarp as standard. The manual return crank is conveniently located at arm height. This crank location is unlike any other on the market and is definitely a welcomed addition! Here is a view of the dual drop down sides. The sides split in the middle allowing for all or part of the side to be open. Since each side section is independent the weight to fold them is also very manageable. The rear end of the bed has well designed looks and function. The built in LED lights give plenty of visibility and the rear step above the hitch is a nice touch for overall usability. The 7-way trailer socket is conveniently located just above the rear step. We also installed a 36"W x 18"D x 18"H x 1/8" thick aluminum diamond plate underbody box on the passenger side for storage. Thanks for checking out the post!
Here is a neat truck we just finished up! This customer sets up monuments and needs a mid-mounted crane with plenty of deck space and storage for equipment. All the equipment is mounted on a 2020 Chevy, 6500, diesel, cab chassis with a 120" CA. The job really turned out nice! The rear end is designed to accommodate the customer's removable concrete mixer. This mixer will be able slide on and off as needed. The space in-between the bed frame was also modified to provide storage for equipment. We custom painted the Rev Pack to match the 2020 Chevy/Navistar blue/grey metallic. The inside is painted white to be brighter. Stainless shelves are a nice touch and add durability to the areas where tools will be slid on and off. The crane is an Auto Crane 6000lbs EHC6 NexStar equipped with a wireless, handheld remote. While the wireless system does had some cost initially, it saves several minutes of working time every time the crane is used. Since there are no cords to get out, unwind, and plug in there is just less work to be done. This crane's wireless system can operate all the crane's functions and is ready to go in seconds.

We just finished up these custom flat beds. They are mounted on Ford cab-chassis with 84" CA. The beds are 11ft long and have expanded steel mesh, drop down sides. Here is view with one of the sides in the open position. The rear of the bed has a built 2.5" receiver hitch and safety "D" rings for trailer chains. We also installed a 4-corner LED flasher system on this truck and tied them into the factory up-fitter switches. This is a great way to let people know you are driving slow or are stopped along the road, preventing accidents. We installed King Pin hitches in these beds. However, this King Pin hitch can be swapped out for a standard Goose Neck Ball style hitch within a couple mins making it quite versatile. Thanks for checking out the post!
This is a 8ft Reading service body we recently upfitted on a Chevy 3500 pickup bed delete. We also fabricated a ladder rack and a vise mount to finish the job out. It really turned out well! Here is a view of the driver's side front with aluminum diamond plate installed full height. Dual wheel bodies are wider than the cab of the truck and having full height protection from road debris keeps the body looking nice much longer. Here are a couple pictures of our rear vise mount. This heavy duty mount is reinforced to the frame for added support. We plan to start offering this item on our online store soon! Thanks for checking out the post! If you have any truck upfitting questions feel free to reach out!
Here is an up-fit that we finished up recently. We paint matched, mounted, and up-fitted this Reading Master Mechanics body on a Ram 5500 Diesel. The job really turned out nice! Here is a view of the passenger side showing the open compartment space. The front compartments are vented to accommodate for gas bottle storage. Here is a view of the rear of the truck and the work bench bumper. All the horizontal surfaces and entire cargo area are spray-lined for added durability. The driver's side has 3 drawer units mounted in 3 compartments. These heavy duty, built in modules have 300lbs slides per drawer and very handy in storing tools and supplies. Here are couple closeups of the 4 corner LED work light system which run to a switch in the cab and the rear bumper which has storage space inside. Thanks again for checking out the post!
Here's a little different looking setup that we finished up recently. The truck is a Chevy LCF 4500 and we installed a flatbed, hoist, and rear hitch. The bed has an electric/hydraulic hoist. The steel bed also has a wood floor which can help prevent loads from shifting around during transit. Here is a view of the rear end with the hitch and lights. Thanks for looking!
We finished up this 9ft AirFlow stainless steel dump bed a couple months ago. It really turned out sharp. The bed has a double acting rear tailgate and fold down sides. We also welded in a rear hitch and installed a 4 corner LED flasher system. Here is a view of the side showing the drop down side opened up. There are 4 LED flashers, one in each corner. Here is a view of the driver's side rear LED flasher mounted in the rear corner post of the dump body. There are a few options for cab protectors. The cab protector on this truck is what is called the 1/4 cab protector and it is the smallest cab protector available. Here are a few more pictures of the rear of the dump bed.
