CTEC 16' Combo Body & Venturo Crane by North Bay Truck Body

This is a long puppy! It's a rare sighting of a 16' Combo Body (a service body with a 36" rear platform--in this case, a 13' service body plus the 3' work platform) manufactured by CTEC (California Truck Equipment Company) of Downey, CA. In addition, it has a Venturo ET6KX 2,000 lb. Crane (now the ET8KX has replaced the ET6KX). Notice on the rear there are two trailer plugs for maximum flexibility. There is also a custom cab shield and a custom one side rack. All of this mounted on a GM 4500/5500 Crew Cab.

Many times you would see a Combo Body with short gates around the rear platform and this one has been left gateless to make it easier to work from. This is the best advantage of the Combo Body: the rear work platform which is 3' long and 8' wide, so it is a very nice HD steel work bench. You can attach vises and other gear, hook up a chop saw and cut material, lay out work and much more. It is also at a great height to work from, so all of this makes the Combo Body an excellent choice. All of the features of a service body with the bonus of the work platform. Combo Bodies are available in single rear wheel models or dual rear from 9' to as long as you want it.

This is another quality job from Bob Dias and his fine crew at North Bay Truck Body in Cordelia, CA. Call Bob at 707-864-2700 and visit his website at www.nbtb.com.
