All Aluminum Body

The 5052AL aluminum Z-Spec provides the same strength and features of the steel Z-Spec, with a lower weight.  This provides fuel savings and the capability to haul heavier loads, all with a sleek, stylish appearance, improving your company image.

 

Integral Dump Body Construction

One piece cab protector and bulkhead, as well as the factory punched window, eliminates rust potential that comes with welded or bolt-on pieces.  One piece floor with radius sides and 3" interlaced I-beam cross members on 16" centers provide a strong and stable body.  Dirt shedding sides improve safety, removing the possibility of accumulated debris flying off.

 

Gussets

Front gussets are integrated into the bulkhead, eliminating rust potential.  Front and rear gussets are supplied with 22" board pockets, and the rear gussets are flush with the tailgate, allowing for a fully enclosed body for larger loads of materials.
