Cost wise, it didn't sting as much as it could have. The "partial wrap" got the cost down to about $750. This was my second wrap from this company, so I got a bit of a break. I bought this truck specifically for the purpose of utilizing the work body for storage for pumps to keep them out of the weather, and building a custom truck rig to compliment my trailer. I'm realizing this type of set up will take a lot of planning, so I'm putting that off until at least the spring while I figure out what to do.

Barry, I keep envisioning my pump in the long skinny box over the driver side wheel well. I can cut a hole in the interior of the box for plumbing access. I use a different style pump than most guys here, its an electric water pressure booster pump. My plan is to mount hose reels on the top of the bed box on the driver side.
What I LOVE about the utility body is access and organization to all my goodies. Each box has its own purpose: 1) safety, 2) parts, 3)cleaners/chemicals 4) tools. The organization has really shaved time off my work.
The negative is limited access to tanks/plumbing/valves no matter what I do.
BTW....picked up this truck from govdeals.com. Its a '99 chevy 2500 from the City of Tallahassee with 111,000 miles on it. Was fleet maintained, runs strong. I paid $2500 for it. Thats a great site to find a work truck.

Looks great Ray! I have a utility (fiber) bed too. If you want to compare notes before you do the permanent install, feel free to give me a ring. You too Barry or anyone else.
As a friendly FYI, I mounted my reel on the passengers side rather than the drivers side, for those rare occasions when there is no drive way, and only street parking.
Anyone have roof before and after pics as part of a graphics or wrap package? I've seen them on the box truck of one of the Jersey guys and I think that's about it?
Thanks for the tip, that is an awesome site. My truck & trailer are in pretty good shape, but when they need replaced, I'm gonna get a fire truck. No, Im not kidding.
I almost bought one of those 2 years ago. They are heavy, lots of room and the toolboxes are great the way Ray organizes them. That's looking really good bro!!
I 've always wanted a utility bed so places for stuff. I would get one but I need seats for my kids. A guy i know got a brand new one fully loaded for $25k
