tool beds

[Soundguy]

At work we are picking up a 06 ford 650 cab/chassie, and are looking for a good place to buy a tool bed. it will need a crane, and place for an air comp and welder/gen. .. plus storage cabnet for bottles.

Wheelbase is 242".. but I think we are going to hav ethe frame shortened.

Any ideas on beds?

thanks

Whatever you get, think about putting the air compressor between the cab and the bed. That will save bed space and may eliminate the need to shorten the frame.

Try www.publicsurplus.com if you are interested in a used bed. May not find anything, but you never know.

Readingbody.com has the utility body you are looking for. Several models available with a crane too.

Try AutoCrane we have used them for the last several years and they seem to hold up better than some we have had they also make a nice crane
