    would tear out the plywood in a few weeks hauling rock and concrete.

    yes they do, but we hardly use it on the other two trucks that have them, so we aren't putting it on this one.

    yup, not so huge.

    2000 double frame Sterling that we stretched 5'.

    I'm thinking it'll be about $7K in material just for the bed, $1,500 for the cylinder.

    OSW out of Washington state. Like I said a little spendy but to me by far worth it. They'll be the ones that I buy a body from when I put my next truck together.

    Tapered Side, High Lift Tailgate, Plywood Lined, Wood Boards on top, Marker lights were fabbed a little different than their standard, Vibrator with all the wiring, Automatic Pulltarps Tarp with all the wiring, New Hinge, Hydraulic Tank, Hoist and Saddle Mount, Extra Strobe Lights on the rear, Hydraulic Pressure Gauges to get in the ballpark for how loaded I am, the only stuff they re used were my PTO pump and the in cab controls they had to re-do some of them though. Everything installed and I didn't have to lift a finger to be ready to go back to work.

    Like I said, they aren't cheap, but I did get a pretty well optioned out dump body too. And when you buy new from a manufacturer or dealer you're paying FET so that added like $4500-5000 bucks iirc.
