Q: What is FRP?

A: Fiberglass reinforced plywood gives you a bright, white, smooth wall inside and outside the truck. FRP is lighter than steel, which means you can have a greater payload capacity than with steel or tapered bodies so you can carry more tools and materials to the job site.

Q: What is the benefit of an FRP body over a steel body?

A: FRP is durable, noncorrosive, and scratch-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about rust. FRP also gives your truck smooth, white walls which are ideal for company graphics on the outside and create a brighter work environment inside your body.

Q: How much payload can a box carry?

A: Payload capacity is determined by which size chassis and the additional options you choose. In the best case a 10 foot body can carry up to 2,175 pounds, a 12 foot body up to 2,575 pounds, and a 14 foot body up to 2,949 pounds of payload.

Q: How many cubic feet of storage does the body have?

A: Compartments storage (unit with maximum number of compartments per model) — a 10 foot body has up to 85 cubic feet, a 12 foot body up to 110 cubic feet, and a 14 foot body up to 135 cubic feet of storage.
Body interior storage (body interior only) — a 10 foot body has up to 431 cubic feet, a 12 foot body up to 514 cubic feet, and a 14 foot body up to 597 cubic feet of storage space.
Total body storage (compartments plus interior) — a 10 foot body has up to 516 cubic feet, a 12 foot body up to 624 cubic feet, and a 14 foot body up to 732 cubic feet of storage space.

Q: What sizes can I get?

A: The body comes in three lengths: 10, 12, and 14 feet, three heights: 56 (on SRW, 79" width only), 72, and 78 inches, and two widths: 79 inches for SRW and 96 inches for DRW.

Q: How long are the bodies inside?

A: Body has true interior lengths – actually a bit more. A 10 foot body is 122 inches long inside (10 feet 2 inches), a 12 foot body is 146 inches (12 feet 2 inches) and a 14 foot body is 170 inches (14 feet 2 inches). Please keep in mind that adding an optional overhead door will decrease interior length by 4 inches.

Q: How many compartments do I get?

A: You may get up to three compartments per side on the 10 foot model, four compartments per side on the 12 foot model, and five compartments per side on the 14 foot model. You may also choose to add compartments to only one side of your Body.

Q: What are the compartment sizes?

A: Compartments on DRW are 22.5 inches deep and on SRW are 14 inches deep. Please look at pages five and six of this guide for detailed drawings and specifications of the compartments.

Q: Will Body fit inside a standard 8-foot garage?

A: Yes. Body is available in a 10- and 12-foot single rear wheel “Low Height” model that is designed for garages. However, it is always a good practice to confirm the actual height of your garage. Plus remember, adding the ladder rack option on the Body’s roof will add to the overall vehicle height.

Q: Do you have a Body we can see today?

A: Yes, we have both a 12-foot dual and a 10-foot single rear wheel in stock. (Note to dealers: having Body in stock will greatly enhance your ability to sell even more of them!)

Q: If I want to do something special to my Body, can I order it from you?

A: Yes. We can call Supreme Corporation and have them design a body that fits your specific needs. Keep in mind, though, that special orders tend to take a little bit longer and, depending on your request, may cost more than a body that uses standard options.

Q: What kind of warranty does Body have?

A: Supreme stands behind Body’s quality, with a five-year structural warranty on each and every body.
