I am considering buying an F150 to use as a service truck for my commercial appliance repair business I was originally thinking of buying one adding tool boxes to the bed and running it like that. Then I started to think about the Knapheide service boxes that you see on the 250, 350 and other large models. Is this available on the F150 or can I order an F150 chasis frame and add this box aftermarket?

 

I don't think you can order f150 chassis without the box. Not even sure if you can get a 250 without the box. If you're planning on loading it up, I'd probably get something bigger then a half ton, but that's just my opinion

 

A lot of folks that buy trucks for utility service take the beds off of the trucks and install a utility bed on them. If you're going to use it for light duty appliance hauling you could probably get by with a tool box. I think I've seen late model 150's with lifts on the back of the bed.

 

Those boxes you put on your bed weigh a lot. That's why you see them on 250+ and more typically 350+. I think it could be done but by the time you put the boxes on you'd be able to haul very little. I assume you ment a truck similer to the one I attached.

 

Thanks

Didn't think about the weight factor. I was thinking on the functionality. The goal is to get a 250/350 in the future. If I could afford a super duty now it would definitely be my first choice.

 

Sorry buddy. Didn't realize I was being rude. I read everything that was written. Didn't have much time to respond. This thread was started of off an impulse.
