In My work, utility construction we use a mix of pick ups and dump trucks.
The way things work is the pick ups carry's the tools and some parts to be installed, while the dump trucks carrys larger parts and or rock or gravel.
Anyways i have been using jobsite boxes, so that the pick up doesn't become filled with side mount toolboxes and or front mount, cutting the bed size to almost nothing. Job site boxes are just too big, and tool deep. I have looked into utility bodys, and have one mounted on a 2wd truck. The problem is they are expensive, and take away the pickup look appearance. My pick ups are all issued as company trucks to my senior and better employees. Anyways Next year 2 or 3 of my pick ups will be do for replacement. Also note pick ups are used for residental plowing, because many are outfitted with pull plows. Pull plows work best on pick ups i would think, with the best visablity.
Anyways i have found my solution. The Royal truck body, it looks like a pick up body with built in tool boxes. It looks just like a regular ford pick up body. This royal truck body will be my solution to pick up truck replacement next year. This way i can have a pick up with tool storage, mount a pull plow on it, and have a good company truck. I don't think a pull plow would even work on a utlity body.
