Hi guys.


I have an 02 2500hd d/a with a Reading Classic II service body. I no longer need the service body, and would like to put on a standard box. What years will work, and can I use a box off of a 1500? Are there any tricks that I need to be aware of? Thanks,

Tom.

Any bed of a new style will work, 8'. Keep your eye on a local chassis upfitter as they always seem to have some available. My local Chevy dealer has a few off brand new trucks complete with bumbers

My truck came with the pick up box delete option. Is the chassis any different than one that came with a bed?

If you go you an upfiter, They take the beds off pickups all the time maybe you can trade in you body for a pick up bed. Jersey Truck Equipment Co. is a dealer for reading they are close to you too. 5018 Industrial Road, POB 601, Farmingdale, NJ 07727 888.666.5832

I just bought a bed from them. They were not interested in my slightly used pewter box. I'll try posting it in the classifieds.
