    How much reinforcement would it even take to make a lowboy out of aluminum? LOL

    I did not realize you were talking about a drop deck, all the vans are painted aluminum. My mistake.

    I dont think I've ever seen painted aluminum on a van before. Normally the painted parts are composites. Now I've seen a ton of reefers with fully aluminum exteriors that were painted.
