A regular flatbed is nice, but it sure is handy to be able to dump something once in a while. You can still have the flatbed, just leave the hoist under it. It won't show, and it will be there if you need it. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,602 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,602 | Its your truck but a firetruck body would be more to my likeing... :-)

You've seen them on the high end fifth wheel pullers. Lots of them available, look good, steel or aluminum or fibreglass options, cheaper than a new wrecker body, storage boxes built in...lots of good reasons besides you'll be the only kid on your block with one. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | I might could be talked into, selling one of my Wrecker Bodies. | | |
