Truck service body

Reading service body with 3 doors per side, and lumber rack. All thr doors open and close, no keys. No rust or damage.

Papa james thinks its worth a grand, but best offer will make it go away. 

Located outside Charlotte nc 

Was on an early-mid 90s f250 longbed single rear wheel before.

I had planned to use it for a bagged service body build, but im more likely to be president than ever do it.

Things heard only on GRM:

” ... bagged service body build ... ”

I've also considered a service bodybuild, but but I want to do is on a cutaway Van. I wonder what sort of wheelbase I would end up with with this body.

Dallas has a tape measure if you need measurement ....

The plan would be to use something like this. In all honesty, it's a bad plan. 

Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it 

Or put it on the back of the coe.....

Honestly stampie Studebaker truck and frame was going to be what was used with this service body. Probably powered buy a Mopar small block with bags and a 2 link

Well, not so much.


I have a FB group where we have discussed this quite a bit.  One of my friends here has a vintage utility bed for dirty cheap, and it makes me thinking bad thoughts again...

I've always wanted to build an offroad adventure camp trailer with a rooftop tent (with A/C) to pull behind my Bronco, based on a service body with a ladder rack.  ARB awning and slide out kitchen setup, place for lawn chairs and other gear, solar, 6 to 8 batteries, fresh water, propane..........

Studebaker went to it's next owner today but he didn't want the frame. Then as I'm taking a shower I think hmmm, I have the frame, and a RX7 from the firewall back, add LS and 8.8 rearend for Challenge glory. 

I've owned about a dozen service body trucks.

Service bodies are stupid expensive new.  They are almost worthless used.

They are also ridiculously heavy.

Pretty much what i thought. But, not my service body, not my price. Just trying to help dallas clean out.

Same with stake bodies and such. I got the dumping flatbed for my F-550 for like 30% of new and it was 3 years old.

That was 5 years ago. I don't really have an opinion about it today. 😂

(but I'd like to see a bagged utility body!) 😉

I must be losing my mind...I don't know what happened. I was just scrolling from the top, I thought!

Still 100% correct. And I've been looking, as I have a build in mind!

I see asking prices from $300, to $3000 for used. 500-750 seem to actually sell. The 300 one stayed around over a month, and was almost perfect. I almost drove a hr to get it, but was smart, and paid bills, instead! (I want a single wheel - it was dually width)

So easy to do, when a old one comes to the top! I was fooled, for about the first three posts, as well! Then disappointed
