A chassis cab truck differs from a pickup truck in one crucial respect: instead of a cab paired with a truck bed, a chassis cab truck offers—you guessed it—a cab and an unfinished chassis. What is a chassis cab truck used for? Most buyers will choose to outfit their chassis cab trucks with specialized back ends that can better meet the needs of particular industries or jobs. In other words, these heavy-duty trucks are incredibly versatile.

 

 

What Are Cab Chassis Trucks Used For?

Cargo vans and pickup trucks can do a lot, but they can’t do everything. Here, we’ve highlighted just a few of the industries where you’re likely to encounter a modified chassis cab:

  • Medical
  • Construction
  • Waste Management
  • Landscaping
  • Agriculture
  • Forestry
  • Electrical

Potential Upfits for Your Chassis Cab Truck

The process of modifying a chassis cab pickup is often referred to as “upfitting”. What kind of upfits can one make on the average chassis cab truck? It depends on several factors, including the truck’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the distance between its cabin and rear axle.

  • Service body (tool management)
