From another perspective, based on my experience, I would never choose the 'box delete' but just get the full truck and then remove the box. The cost savings from the 'box delete' is less than what a new take-off bed and bumper can be sold for. Even though there are many take-offs, the demand at auto body shops generally works in your favor. Prices for brand new factory beds is thru the roof, so truck owners and body shops are all too happy to save some $$.
When I removed my take-off, it was sold in a few days and the body shop sent a flat bed tow truck 35 miles and picked it up at my house. Looking at upgrading to a new tow vehicle soon and I will move the utility bed to the new truck. Selling the take-off bed/bumper will more than cover the cost of putting a simple flat bed on the old truck to make it ready for market.
