Anyone done one of these?

I have always wondered about these units and wonder if anyone on RV NET has done one?

TRUCK BODY

I happen to run across the red one in OR a few years back, now I have discovered who makes them...not far from Lance in Bakersfield.

    Would you post some pics please. I have seen Brian's on the Duramax chassis. I like what he has done, he has 4x4 an am 4x2 dually...I like the easy entry of being lower to ground with the side entry of the 1161 and it is even lower as the 61 does not have a basement when compared to 81/91, if I am not mistaken.
    But would like to see your unit. THX


    I believe Bryans utility bed is mounted on a F550 CC Ford not a Dmax.
  • I called them about 10 months ago, the average cost out the door painted white is around $10,000.

    Do realize that it is custom made to your TC, so good luck if you ever decide/have to change out TC's.

    As soon as I hear back I'll post the answer.

  • I haven't done one, but have seen some utility bodies used with 5ers. Have seen a couple with campers.
    Would be great in many cases for storage.
  • I haven't done one, but I do like the concept. The vision in my head has me doing something like this later on in my build.
