Featured HPI Build: Service Body 199

This 2019 Ford F350 Bed Delete with 56.5” cab-axle absolutely maximizes the storage capacity of a pickup.  Our customer was using a single wheel truck but needed the secure organized storage more commonly seen on a larger cab chassis truck.

This custom utility bed was designed to closely match the height of the truck cab to maximize space.  The cab side compartment is a transverse box allowing full pass-through from driver to passenger side.  This space was then filled with tool drawer stacks of 6.  These drawers are mirror images for the driver and passenger sides and have removable dividers for a custom fit for specific tools and hardware.  Just after the front compartments is a lift drop door box combination that provides wider storage than what is offered in the front and rear compartments. 

The driver side drop door also conceals the fuel fill for the truck preventing access by thieves.  The rear compartments have 4 adjustable shelves on each side for customizable storage for specific tools of the job.  Dual lid topper boxes were added to each side with 4 additional removable tool trays making it easy to carry small hardware and tools when the job isn’t right next to the truck.  With the cab height compartments, steps were added beneath the front and rear boxes to help with accessing the top boxes.  Bridging from one top box to the other is a custom-built cover to fully enclose the bed of the service body.  Mounted above the enclosure is a custom cargo rack with hex punches and cleats providing tie downs from front to back.  The bed of the truck is accessed from the rear with a lifting hatch and fold down tailgate that doubles as a work bench. 

The bed has a XT2000 Truck Slide so the contents of the bed can be pulled out keeping feet safely on the ground.  To finish the build a vice mount was added to the driver side at the back of the body and a road cone holder to the passenger side.  Aesthetically this truck utilizes black powdercoat and our Gladiator finish (dimpled material) as well as color match powdercoat on the doors and skirts of the body.
