Just so happens, they have a truck like that, medium duty usually, that does just that. It has a hook hydraulic system that hooks the body you need, rotates onto the bed of the truck and locks. Do the reverse to remove it and put a different one on.
Here it is, I found it.
I knew about it because one of my former jobs was considering buying into it.
Here's another one/type...this would be good on a trailer body..like intermodal with changable tops.

I carry one of those with me on the road just in case I need a flatbed real quick.

I must be the old man here.
In the late 90's Lennox had some DUDE cut a city bus in half with a Sawzall. Think he did it in like 18 minutes.
So if you had someone like @Tug Toy or @Cattleman84 that have real skills, standing by with a Lincoln and a few dozen rods, had two rub rails ready, you'd have a van to flatbed by the time your mandatory 30 was over.JoeyJunk, GYPSY65, God prefers Diesels and 4 others Thank this. -
If they could do it a little bit faster then that we can have them done at pump #22 on the Loves fuel island during a 10.JoeyJunk, GYPSY65, God prefers Diesels and 2 others Thank this.
