I never really considered the weight of the tow body and I need to. Does anyone have any preference to one tow body over another? Or do you guys think a regular pickup truck bed is the way to go? I would like to have a transfer tank/tool box. So do any of the tow body manufacturers offer a body with a transfer tank? Lone_star_dsl mentioned no bed at all and a hitch that would just mount to the frame rails. I wwould only worry about not having the tires and suspension protected from a mishap. That big steel structure behind the rear window might make me feel a little better about the thing coming in the cab with me.
I think the cab n chassis is the only way I could make the cost of a new diesel truck fit my plan. Also plan to haul a car hauler trailer with the truck.
I was thinking more along the lines of something like this.
