Combination Service Body Trucks for Southwest Florida Businesses
Combine secure tool storage, open cargo space, racks, work areas and specialized equipment in one commercial truck built around the job.
A combination service body gives businesses more flexibility than a standard service body by combining several storage and work-truck features into a single configuration.
We can help match the Ford chassis, body dimensions, compartment layout, equipment and payload requirements to the way your crews actually use the truck.
What Is a Combination Service Body?
A combination service body blends multiple commercial body features into one truck to support businesses that need more than a basic tool-storage configuration.
Depending on the application, a combination body may include traditional exterior service compartments, open cargo space, drawers, shelving, ladder racks, work areas and dedicated spaces for commercial equipment.
The purpose is flexibility. Instead of forcing the business into one standard body layout, the truck can be configured around the tools, materials and equipment employees need during the workday.
This can make combination bodies a strong choice for contractors, mobile technicians, utility crews and field-service operations with more complex equipment requirements.
Multiple Functions in One Truck
✓ Secure exterior compartments
✓ Open cargo or work space
✓ Drawers and shelving
✓ Ladder and material racks
✓ Workbench options
✓ Specialized equipment storage
When a Standard Service Body Is Not Enough
Some businesses need secure tool storage, cargo capacity and specialized equipment on the same truck.
Organize Tools
Exterior compartments can keep hand tools, power tools, parts and frequently used equipment organized and accessible.
Keep Open Space
Open deck or cargo areas can provide room for larger tools, materials, equipment or supplies that do not fit inside compartments.
Add a Work Area
Workbench and drawer configurations can create a more useful mobile workspace for technicians performing repairs or equipment setup.
Carry Specialized Gear
The body can be planned around generators, compressors, welding equipment, cranes and other commercial equipment when appropriate.
Configure the Body Around the Work
The right combination depends on what your employees need to store, carry, access and operate from the truck.
Exterior Tool Storage
Lockable side compartments can organize tools, parts, fittings and equipment while keeping frequently used items easy to reach.
Small Parts Organization
Drawer systems and bins can provide dedicated storage for smaller tools, fasteners, hardware and replacement components.
Cargo and Equipment Space
Open portions of the body can carry larger equipment and materials that would not fit inside traditional compartments.
Ladder & Material Storage
Rack systems can provide additional carrying space for ladders, pipe, conduit and other long materials.
Mobile Workspace
Certain body layouts can include a dedicated work surface for repairs, assembly and equipment preparation in the field.
Specialized Equipment
Generators, compressors, inverters, welders and other equipment can be incorporated depending on the body and application.
Which Service Body Configuration Fits Your Business?
The best body depends on how much storage, cargo space, weather protection and specialized equipment your operation requires.
Organized Tool Storage
A traditional service body provides exterior compartments and an open center cargo area for tools and field-service equipment.

An enclosed body adds covered interior storage and workspace for businesses that need additional security and weather protection.

A combination body blends compartments, cargo space, racks, work areas and specialized equipment into a more customized work-truck layout.
Choosing the Right Ford Chassis
Combination bodies can add substantial weight once tools and specialized equipment are installed, making chassis selection an important part of the build.

Selecting the correct chassis means looking beyond the empty truck. The body, storage equipment, commercial equipment, tools, passengers and cargo all affect the completed vehicle.
A combination service body can become significantly heavier when equipment such as compressors, generators, welders or lifting systems is added.
Planning the truck and body together can help preserve usable payload and avoid choosing a chassis that is too light for the finished build.
