Out With the Old: Upgrading to a New Service Body

If you’re in the trades, your truck is more than just transportation—it’s your mobile office, your toolbox, and sometimes your breakroom. And if your service body has seen better days—rusted hinges, dented compartments, or drawers that stick on the daily—it might be time to make a serious upgrade.

We recently replaced an old, worn-down service body with a brand-new Service Body, and the difference is night and day.

Why Make the Switch

If an old setup has been through years of jobsite abuse it’s time. It still can get the job done (mostly), but stop wasting time every day wrestling with stuck latches, hunting through disorganized drawers, and dealing with weathered seals that don’t keep the rain out anymore. Plus, if it looks rough—definitely not the impression you want to give when pulling up to a client’s property.

When you depend on your vehicle day in and day out, functionality isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

The Install

Swapping out the old service body wasn’t as painful as we expected. In about a day, the customer was back on the road—with more storage, better security, and a serious upgrade in looks.

The Result? Night and Day.

Since the upgrade, you will notice:

  • Less time wasted looking for tools

  • Better organization and inventory control

  • A boost in team morale (it’s just nicer to work out of a truck that feels clean and modern)

  • More compliments from customers—and a few jealous looks from other tradespeople

Final Thoughts

Replacing a service body isn’t just about looks—it’s about efficiency, safety, and projecting the right image. If your current setup is holding you back, investing in a quality service body could be one of the smartest moves you make for your business.

If you have had a wreck and in need of a new bed through your insurance, we can do that! We would be more than happy to work with your insurance company to get you back on the road in a timely manner.
