Sorry off topic. But how do you like your load & go utility body. I have been thinking about getting one. I just can’t afford to keep buying dedicated trucks. I am now up to 26 vehicles! So my truck ends up being a TV, parts runner, and a makeshift service truck. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2000 2500 silverado, went by the scales on the way to camp because I wanted to know what the weight with truck and camper loaded for the trip and I was surprised my 5th wheel with truck full of gas and 2 adults and 2 kids the weight was 16,000lbs. Think Im overloaded?

Tex,
I love it! It is very easy to use and I love that huge storage drawer under the bed.

The only complaint I have with it is the floor is sagging from the weight of the welder, compressor and job box I have mounted there. I have about 1500 lbs in the bed of it. Some day I will reinforce the floor with extra crossmembers underneath. Hasn't caused any problems, the drawer slides in and out fine, I just notice the sag and if I think about it too long, it bugs me.

There are lots of pics of the utility body and how I have it set up if you click on my truck link in sig below. Truck and utility body pics are on pages 1 and 2 mostly.

On Edit- truck and body pics are on pages 9 and 10, sorry, forgot which way the pages were numbered.

Here is a link to my photobucket pics page, truck pics will probly be last to load-

This is what makes it so heavy-







The big drawer-

I like that hauler bed on your truck. Looks like it has some nice big side storage compartments.
