Slide-In "Service Body" For Pickups PICKUPS Accessories 22-2-38 A new "service body" for pickups is de-signed to quickly slip into place without any modification to the truck and can be just as quickly removed when it's not needed.
The "Load æN Go" measures 8 ft. long, 6 1/2 ft. wide at the top, and 41 1/2 in. high. It's equipped with a heavy duty diamond plate floor covered by a spray-on liner, an expanded metal bulkhead, and two compartments with adjustable shelves and pneumatic door assist shocks on each side. An 8-ft. long slide-out drawer on back is optional.
The unit bolts to six mounting blocks that clamp onto the pickup bed rails. No drilling is required. Forklift tunnels at the back are used for mounting and removal. Or, you can use four 2,500-lb. capacity lifting jacks (optional) to raise the body off the pickup and drive out from under it.
"As far as I know it's the only removable service body on the market," says Steve Williams, Titan Truck Equipment, Spokane, Wash. "Simply remove the tailgate and open the rear compartment door and you have access to the forklift tunnels. The jacks are inserted into mounting tubes at all four corners, allowing the body to be lifted similar to a pickup camper.
"It actually has about 25 percent more storage space than a standard 8-ft. utility body. The bed area is 48 1/2 in. wide so it can accommodate full 4-ft. wide sheets of plywood. The optional slide-out rear drawer is 90 in. long, 41 in. wide, and 7 1/2 in. high and has a capacity of 1,000 lbs. It comes with adjustable dividers and a rubber mat."
Fits any full-size pickup. Standard long and short bed models are available. The unit comes in a standard white color but can be painted to match most factory colors for an additional charge.
Other optional equipment includes a lad-der rack, material rack, roller top, side compartment slide-out drawers, hotstick compartment inserts, and a removable tailgate.
Sells for about $4,700 without jacks; $5,350 with them.
