Douglass Truck Bodies

Hello friends. I have ordered a new Northern Lite 10-2LEDB and will order a new RAM 5500 with a 60" CA this week. In between I am looking for a truck body, possibly the Douglass Truck Body. Any thoughts or concerns here? It appears the build quality is good but should I go aluminum or steel?

    I agree, steel, it's cheaper and the empty truck will ride better. Plenty of payload capacity.

    We like ours made of steel. Not sure why you would consider Aluminum when you will have 3,000 lbs +/- extra payload.
