New Body Ofrers Big Truck Copocity on Smoll Chossis

A new line of side-mounted half cab truck bodies oftering big-truck capacity on a small truck chassis has been announced by DeKalb Commercial Body Corp. The sidemounted design provides 20 to 26 percent more usable loading space than conventional trucks of comparable size and permits bumper-to-bumper loading. A full 22 feet of long cargo such as lumber can be carried safely on a wheelbase of only 122 to 127 inches.

"In the side-mounted half cab line, you save two ways: you make fewer trips because of larger loads and you enjoy the small-truck maneuverability, lower licenses and tax rates, and reduced operating costs," a company spokesman said.
