Heavy-Duty Beauty: Check Out This Retro Hauler Reimagined by CATO

At Central Arkansas Truck Outfitters, we don’t just modify trucks — we turn visions into reality. One of our latest custom builds is this head-turning 1974 Chevrolet C50 with a 2008 Chevy Express Frame, transformed from a vintage work truck into a show-ready hauler with modern capability and timeless appeal.

C-50 Frame
CM Hot Shot Bed

Our customer brought in his truck, which was just a bare frame. We had a CM Hot Shot Bed in stock that he wanted to add, customizing it completely to fit his frame.

Our fabrication guy started by putting the CM Bed on the lift and removing the existing fenders. Once that was done, he positioned the bed to take all the necessary measurements. After gathering the measurements, we went ahead and sourced all the metal needed for the build.

We had to add metal to widen the bed to fit the entire truck frame. Since the CM Hot Shot Bed was designed for a Ram Dual Rear Wheel frame, everything about this bed needed to be customized to make it work.

Diamond Plate on CM Bed

We decided that adding the diamond plate to the sides of the bed would really enhance the look. Our fabricator carefully measured everything once again and cut out what was necessary, ensuring the diamond plate fit perfectly over the areas the customer wanted to highlight.

The next step was painting the bed. Before that, we carefully filled in all the metal to make it smooth and visually appealing. We also installed the filler neck for the bed after this process.

The customer had a specific look in mind for this truck. We installed the fenders he provided, and I think the chrome addition was an awesome touch.

Some of the other things that we did to this truck was add Airlift Airbags, installed a B&W Tow and Stow Hitch, along with 8 Red lights with chrome bezels.

This Chevy C50 is now a powerful, road-ready hauler that blends old-school style with modern functionality. Whether it’s pulling a trailer or turning heads at a show, this truck is built to perform and impress.

Of Course We Can Swap Your Equipment Over For Fou!

OF COURSE WE CAN SWAP YOUR EQUIPMENT TO YOUR NEW TRUCK BODY!

A customer needed a new Ironstar Barron Flatbed for their work truck. Their existing flatbed already had several pieces of equipment, so they asked us to transfer everything to the new one. They also requested ECCO Strobe lights, a custom-fabricated tray for brooms, shovels, and valve keys, and four Buyers belly boxes. We got it all done without any issues!

ECCO Strobe Lights

Here are two of the four strobe lights we installed on this truck. These are among our most popular lights, and everyone loves them. The ECCO lights come with a five-year warranty, which is just one of the many reasons they stand out.
Custom Fabricated Tray

Our fabricator designed this tray to hold brooms, valve keys, and shovels. He sketched everything out beforehand, received the metal, laid it out again, and then began welding it all together.
Swapped Equipment

They had several pieces of equipment that we swapped over for them without any issues. They worked with our salesman to decide exactly where they wanted everything, ensuring we placed it in the best possible spots for their needs.

Are you needing a new bed but don’t want to deal with the hassle of swapping everything over to the new bed? Well, we can do it all for you with no problem and take that load off your shoulders.

Out With the Old: Upgrading to a New Service Body

Written by Josi Frahm on May 20, 2025. Posted in Blog.

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.

Welding Trailer

Written by Josi Frahm on April 22, 2025. Posted in Blog.

🚛 Why a Welding Trailer?

Unlike a welding truck, a trailer can be detached and used with different tow vehicles, making it versatile and sometimes more budget-friendly. Plus, it frees up your truck bed for other uses.

🛠️ Key Features to Include

1. Welding Machine Mount

Your welding machine (MIG, TIG, Stick, or multi-process) is the heart of the trailer. Make sure it’s mounted securely with vibration dampers and enough airflow for cooling. Some folks build a sliding or pivoting tray for easier access.

2. Generator/Power Supply

A generator is essential if you’re working in remote areas. Match your generator to the power draw of your welder and other tools.

3. Gas Bottle Racks

Secure racks for oxygen, acetylene, or shielding gas bottles with chains or clamps. Safety first—always store upright and in compliance with local transport regulations.

4. Tool Storage

Lockable toolboxes or drawer systems are a must. Organize your grinders, clamps, hammers, and consumables so you’re not wasting time digging through bins.

🧱 Trailer Size & Layout Tips

Single axle trailers are fine for light-duty rigs.
Tandem axle trailers are better for heavy equipment and balance.
Weight distribution matters. Keep heavy items centered over the axle.
Sketch your layout first—function over looks every time.

📸 Real-World Inspiration

Some welders go full-blown fab shop with enclosed trailers, while others keep it bare-bones and open.

For this welding trailer we used Speedaire Compressor by Grainger. Here is an up-close shot of it above!

We also added a UWS Toolbox that is secure and can keep all of your essentials for the job nice and secure.

We also added the Miller Trailblazer Welder that we most defiantly recommend to anyone!!

Along with that we have upright bottle holders for your oxygen takes to be state approved.

If you are in the market for a welding trailer we would love to help you with every step of the way.

Crane Service Body Truck

Written by Josi Frahm on September 25, 2024. Posted in Blog.

At Central Arkansas Truck Outfitters, we continually strive for excellence, ensuring we meet all our customers’ needs for their work trucks or any other vehicles. With this commitment in mind, our customer came in to speak with our manager about his needs for a new service truck for their company. Having an established relationship with this customer, they confidently approached us. After gathering their requirements and quotes, we were able to compile everything. Given the size of the truck and the numerous components involved, it took some time to determine how everything would function and the layout for each piece of equipment we needed to install. Come on the journey with us as we display all of the different aspects of this build!

We recently installed an 84″ cab-to-axle Harbor crane-ready service body. This bed is equipped with numerous storage compartments to meet various needs. There are countless customization options available for these compartments, such as adding more shelves or hooks for hanging tools and equipment.

We take great pride in installing the Venturo ET12KX-15 crane on trucks, a service that truly sets us apart. This versatile service crane is perfectly sized for most lifting jobs, making it a favorite among municipal and public works companies for tasks ranging from lifting service equipment to fire hydrants. With a 12,000-ft-lb rating and a 3,500 lb. maximum capacity, the ET12KX-15 can be installed on trucks with a minimum GVWR of 8,800 lbs.

The next component needed for this truck is something we frequently install: the Weather Guard 100-gallon black steel rectangular transfer tank. We paired it with a GPI Industries fuel transfer pump and added a multi-plane hose swivel attachment. This transfer tank is perfect for anyone needing to fuel equipment on the go. It saves both time and space when it comes to fueling and storing fuel. Personally, I find it frustrating to stop a job just to go off of the jobsite for fuel.

The Miller EnPak A60GBW is indeed a game-changer for many businesses, especially those in the work truck and vehicle service industry. By integrating an air compressor, generator, battery charge/crank assist, chassis power, and a welder into one compact unit, it significantly optimizes space and efficiency.

This all-in-one solution not only saves valuable truck space but also reduces the need for multiple pieces of equipment, which can simplify operations and maintenance. Plus, with features like a 60-cfm rotary-screw compressor, 7,000-watt generator, and multiprocess welding capabilities, it meets a wide range of jobsite needs.

Absolutely, having gas cylinder bottles is essential for welding or using a cutting torch. That’s why we installed a bottle gas cylinder stand to keep them securely in place. Safety first!

ECCO is a company that offers a wide range of lighting solutions for work trucks and various other applications. We use their products daily and are consistently impressed by their quality. For this truck, we installed ECCO strobes, floodlights, and perimeter lights to ensure visibility and encourage others to maintain a safe distance.

Check out this GEN-Y Mega Duty Hitch with Pintle. This is a 5/8″ Receiver Hitch Lock. It has a 2.5″ Shank, Hitch, Versa-Ball and Pintle. This makes it so much easier to tow heavy duty equipment.

Here if you take a look at the bumper, we added a Fab Bumper extension for a vise to fit on the rear bumper. This gave us just enough room to put the Wilton Vise 10″ Jaw. This vise also is a round channel vise with a swivel base.

Our guys routed all of the controls to a box in the service bed. This makes it so much easier to work with and everything is in one location.

Here we have a custom bumper storage area. This would be a great location for extension cords and even straps. This truck has all of the storage anyone may need!

Lastly, we have installed many other things including steps, D-Rings and things of that nature. When we say just bring us your ideas and we will make it happen…. That is what we mean. We are always willing to help you brainstorm what you are needing. We would love for you to stop by, see us, and give us an opportunity to provide you with quality work we know you all deserve!

Ironstar Bed with Custom Mounted Tommy Gate Liftgate

Written by Josi Frahm on November 1, 2023. Posted in Blog.

Our customer came to us for one of their customers looking for four Ironstar flatbeds and all with a Tommy Gate Liftgates. They showed Jason what they wanted, and he and Mike got on it!

Jason then got all the parts together and gave them a quote on what they were looking at cost wise. They agreed to it and brought all the trucks to us at once. Once we received all the parts, we started to assemble them all.

The customer had already removed the regular truck beds from the trucks, so we were able to jump right in.

They began with a 3/8X3 Flat strap and drilled a half inch hole into it. They then secured the flat scrap to the truck using ½ inch bolts. Next the flat bed is placed with the lift onto the truck frame.

Bed Getting Ready for Liftgate

After the bed is placed and squared, we place the flat strap up onto the bed runners and Robert welded it into place.

Once all of those were done, he then had to run different wires along with a fuel filler neck.

To custom mount the liftgate Robert had to create different supports onto the bed to hold the liftgate. He then welded them on and then began installing the lift. Multiple people helped place it and he did just enough welds to hold it into place and then he completed it.

Finally, all of the wires and lights had to be placed in order for the job to be done.

The customer was extremely satisfied with the work that was done. So satisfied that they are now a repeat customer of ours!

Feel free to contact us here at Central Arkansas Truck Outfitters for all of your truck accessory needs and custom builds for your vehicle. We would love to help!

Box Truck Into Mobile Office

Written by Zak Jones on August 7, 2023. Posted in Blog.

I love working at this job because I get the opportunity to transform someone’s ideas into a reality. A very nice woman stepped into our showroom looking for a way to turn her Chevy box truck into a mobile office. She worked for a non for profit company that receives funding from the community and buys supplies for homeless and less fortunate people. Wanting to branch out her company and reach more people in need, they came up with a plan to bring the supplies to the people, rather than the other way around. The whole team came together and we yet again made the impossible, possible.

This is the space that we had to work with. Not a lot of room for a whole office, but just enough to really create something nice. We already installed a Maxon Lift gate on the truck previously, and now it was time to focus on the office space. We hoped online and began researching the best custom layouts that would fit in this box truck. We searched everywhere from weather guard, to Kargo master, to Adrian steel shelves, all over.. then we found EZ Stak.

EZ Stak is a company that offers many different designs and customizations of shelves to be mounted in box truck, vans, and even food trucks. With the help of EZ Stak, we were able to pick and choose the right parts that the customer found beneficial to their company, including this locker cabinet and 60″ long shelves. She also ordered a 48″ long shelf and a counter top with a 6 drawer unit underneath it for added space. These shelves aren’t just any ordinary shelf, they are steel 18″ deep shelves that were very heavy and durable. One of the best looking products I have seen in a long time. If you look at the first picture of this blog, you can see that we tapped off areas in the box truck. Once the customer found the parts she was looking for, we took some painters tap and measured where that shelf or cabinet would sit in the truck. We then labeled that tap according to what the part was and how long it was. Once the parts came in we looked at the tap and knew exactly were each shelf would go. It was now time to install the office.

The office space looked amazing once finished. Every shelf, cabinet, and drawer lined up perfectly to our measurements, and was secured to the floor and through the wall of the truck. The customer was so amazed by the professional look of the truck and she decided to include our logo in their wrap design. We were so happy to see her vision come true, and now she can travel outside her stationary office and help those who are maybe in your community.
