Martin SBV 98″x 112″ Aluminum Truck Bed

Description

We have the Martin SBV 98″x 112″ Aluminum Truck Bed in the catalogue — a truck bed, for trucks that have outgrown their original bed.

The listed size is 98 x 112.

It is built on the assumption that it will be loaded heavily and often, which is precisely how these end up being used.

Aluminum and steel bodies suit different operations. Aluminum saves weight and resists corrosion; steel costs less, repairs more easily and takes abuse without complaint.

Think about weight. Every pound of body reduces what the vehicle can legally carry, so the material choice has consequences beyond durability.

Headboard and cab protection arrangements matter for anyone carrying long or shifting loads. It is a safety feature before it is a convenience one.

Weight matters as much as strength. Every pound of body is a pound off the payload, which is why material choice is worth thinking through.

Check the legal position on load security and any lighting or marking requirements that apply to the finished vehicle.

Aftermarket bodies are frequently better engineered than factory ones, because they are designed for working use rather than general-purpose sale.

Corrosion resistance is worth paying for in any climate that sees salt or moisture. It is the single factor that most often decides how long a body lasts.

Look at how it will be repaired. Something built from standard sections and fasteners stays economically repairable for a long time.
