Steel vs Stainless Steel vs Aluminum Dump Truck Body. Which one would you buy?

[@gustavomarin6535]

Electric has done well for me, sure sometimes I wish it would go fast but it does the job, I’ve loaded mine full on concrete demo or full on big tree logs. I got boards so I got it loaded to the max and the normal electric has never failed me

First truck so bad ass

[@evanch123456]

That first truck is slick. Love it!

[@jackefrost]

that first one you showed was great was going to ask why not go with the pto off the truck but you answered that and I never knew that you had to be stationary to use it , great video Joe showing the differences .

Nice comparison between steel and aluminum on the Chevrolet Silverado medium duty commercial trucks

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

Very nice. I ended up choosing a dump trailer & to find a decent 1-ton because the medium duty "technically" wouldn't tow some of the equipment i pull or be logical. (toy hauler, excavator, tractors). But those sure would be nice if i could have both.

[@truckguyjoe]

Tow ratings definitely a shortcoming of these trucks...low GCWR rating.

[@imperialservices9892]

Wow what a difference in speed

[@UltraSS-nj8kd]

How much are some of those options like the 9ft bed with tool boxes vs the others would be a curious subject as well.

[@truckguyjoe]

9' steel dump w/ crossbox, hitch, camera, tarp is ~ $16K 11' stainless w/ pto is ~ $26K 11' aluminum Eby Flex w/ crossbox ~ $20K

@@truckguyjoe thank you

[@jorgemartinez-qc3np]

Nice truck! What brand are those stainless fenders?

[@truckguyjoe]

Custom made by the body builder, A&H Equipment

Loooking for a 3500 dump with bossplow

[@BoostedFA]

In short if i can afford it, stainless steel.

[@imperialservices9892]

I have a question the Isuzu cab over for landscaping can you have a side dump box then open deck for mowers.

[@truckguyjoe]

Yes, custom built!

[@imperialservices9892]

@@truckguyjoe I’m going to reach out to you cause that’s something I’ve been thinking about.

[@mattywho8485]

For me (living in the Northeast) I say stainless all the way ! I wouldn't even look at a steel bed, they are all junk in 10 years. The other reason for stainless (over alum.) is I was able to order the body (from Galion) with a Hardox floor in the body. I can run my cleanup bucket on the excavator right across that floor picking stone out of the body and it does zero damage. If you're shopping for a dump body, do yourself a favor and spend the money on the hyd. pump, the electric ones are a joke !

[@truckguyjoe]

Love Galion Dump Bodies!!

Hi Joe🙂. i am Looking for Silverado 6500HD "crew cab" with 26FT box truck. is this option possible? thanks.

[@truckguyjoe]

Hello! Unfortunately they do not offer a wheel base long enough for a box that large on a regular cab or crew cab. You can get away with a 24 foot on a regular cab… Could probably do 18 foot on a crew cab.

[@imperialservices9892]

Love the coal shoots

[@chrisspringer1418]

Where are you located

[@truckguyjoe]

Erie, PA. I have regular cab dumps on order… Probably going to be a few more months before I get them at the earliest. Most of them are committed. Shoot me an email! [e-mail] Please let me know if you’re looking for gas or diesel.

Nice comparison video. This truck kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKW8f6FnjZqqmq8 What's the cubic volume of the dump body? I'm looking for something like this that is 4x4, and can carry 360-400 cu ft with 8,000 lb of cargo capacity. We're looking to upgrade our firewood delivery truck.

[@truckguyjoe]

Cubic volume of this truck is approximately 300 cu ft... The 39" sides hurt the capacity. The bed is 11'4" and 8' wide.
