Maint/Construction Truck

Kemmer · 10-10-2006, 11:51 PM

I am looking into getting a larger truck soon and i was wondering what body would be best. It would be used as a maintenance truck pulling a trailer and a construction truck hauling grass/leaves/mulch/soil/gravel/supplies. I was wondering if a stake body like this would hold up to loading in larger materials or if i should get a actual dump body?

STAKE BODY

DUMP BODY

an actual dump body will take more of a beating

that grain body on the ford will be perfect.

I would get a dump. With a stake, you're stuck with a shovel to unload.

If the ford with the stake bed dumps I would use it. Plus it has higher sides for hauling trees and brush and things like that also. Both are nice trucks thou.
