Made in America and backed by our 6-year warranty, the SL service body offers unbeatable value.

Features may include:

ACRYLIC E-COAT PRIMER
Acrylic E-Coat priming and corrosion protection system ensures full-body primer coverage on all steel body components to resist impact, cuts and gouges.

ALUMA-FILL® FUEL CUP
If they're mishandled, the metal heads of fuel nozzles can quickly damage the exterior of your truck's service body. An all-aluminum fuel receptacle protects the body from accidental nicks and scratches during fueling.

DUAL-PRO® SEAL SYSTEM
Patented design increases clear door openings in every compartment of the body. Large, automotive quality bubble-type seal and mechanical seal provide a dual line of defense against weather.

HEAVY-DUTY COMPARTMENT DOORS
18-gauge steel outer door skin is 3/8” thicker than the industry standard. Double-panel construction and internal reinforcement make these the thickest and strongest doors in the industry.

LED LIGHTS
All of our main line service bodies come equipped with rubber isolated LED lights which include clearance, stop, tail and turn lights. You'll improve your vehicle's visibility and safety in any environment.

POWDER COAT FINISH
A durable, high-gloss polyester powder coat that is electrically bonded to surfaces and melted to form a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. Produces a brighter finish that resists corrosion, chemicals, humidity, scratches, chips and UV damage. Standard on all service body models.

RECESSED FRAME-MOUNTED BUMPER
Our steel and aluminum service bodies feature frame-mounted bumpers with anti-slip surface to increase stability and safety while getting on and off of it. Includes LED marker lights.

RECTANGULAR TAIL LIGHTS
The rectangular tail lights featured on our steel and aluminum service bodies provide a modern look, create clear visibility on the road and offer leak resistance.

REMOVABLE STAINLESS STEEL TAILGATE KNEE BRACES
Braces allow the tailgate to swing down completely. Standard on both steel and aluminum service bodies.

SEAMLESS WHEELHOUSE PANEL
Your vehicle often kicks dirt, mud, salt and other grime up into wheel wells while on the road, and buildup can cause damage and corrosion. All of our main line service bodies come equipped with seamless wheelhouse panels to give dirt and moisture fewer places to collect.

SLAM-ACTION TAILGATE
Pickup style slam-action tailgate with polished stainless steel handle and double-panel construction. Features stainless steel knee braces, locking rods, hinge rods and striker channels. Knee braces are removable and protect against rust and corrosion while allowing the tailgate to swing down completely. Standard on both steel and aluminum service bodies.
