The New Light Duty Work Truck Saves Time AND Money!
Jordan is showing us a great work truck for that saves serious money and gets the job done nicely. This is a V6, half-ton, double-cab pickup that saves on fuel, maintenance costs, is lower to the ground, rides better, and still has a lot of capacity for real work. It is equipped with and A.R.E. DCU Commercial Shell with one side having open access to the enclosed bed area and the other with a shelving unit. Above is a heavy duty and yet very lightweight rack to hold ladders and other equipment or to carry some needed materials to the job site. Inside the rear barn-style doors which open a large area is the saving grace for your knees and back. It is a Cargo Glide bed sliding system that mean you never have to climb in the back of the bed again, and instead, slide the things inside out to you. Add a generator or inverter and you're ready to use power tools onsite as well.

Knapheide Horizontal Series 8' Service Body with Electric Locks
Jordan is giving us a tour of a great Knapheide 8' Service Body with a couple twists. First twist is that this unit has the electronic locking system which has a key fob that makes it easy as pie to lock and unlock ALL the compartments on the body. The second twist is this truck has a horizontal series compartment on both sides of the truck. What this means is that the typical rear vertical compartment is replaced with a much longer horizontal compartment with the addition of a small square compartment below. This configuration allows for loading items that are long and would not fit in the typical compartments, and also makes for greater and more effective storage or normal sized items. It is rare to see this model in stock, but Jordan stocks it.

1957 Chevrolet Commercial "Champs of the ALCAN Run" 1956 General Motors; 1957 Chevy Trucks
This is a laugh to watch and listen to. How they used to sell trucks is pretty funny. - CTS

'CHEVROLET TRUCKS - Chevrolet Trucks are Champs of the Alcan Run, "a road that lies under Northern skies, toward the land of the midnight sun. It crosses the crest of the great Northwest, and it's known as the Alcan run". This military type march, presents the "trucks of the task force fleet" and shows them driving on the rough mountainous roads.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcan_Hi...
The Alaska Highway (also known as the Alaskan Highway, Alaska-Canadian Highway, or ALCAN Highway) was constructed during World War II for the purpose of connecting the contiguous United States to Alaska through Canada. It begins at the junction with several Canadian highways in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and runs to Delta Junction, Alaska, via Whitehorse, Yukon. Completed in 1942 at a length of approximately 2,700 kilometres (1,700 mi), as of 2012 it is 2,232 km (1,387 mi) long. The difference in distance is due to constant reconstruction of the highway, which has rerouted and straightened out numerous sections. The highway was opened to the public in 1948. Legendary over many decades for being a rough, challenging drive, the highway is now paved over its entire length.
An informal system of historic mileposts developed over the years to denote major stopping points; Delta Junction, at the end of the highway, makes reference to its location at "Historic Milepost 1422." It is at this point that the Alaska Highway meets the Richardson Highway, which continues 155 km (96 mi) to the city of Fairbanks. This is often regarded, though unofficially, as the northern portion of the Alaska Highway, with Fairbanks at Historic Milepost 1520. Mileposts on this stretch of highway are measured from Valdez, rather than the Alaska Highway. The Alaska Highway is popularly (but unofficially) considered part of the Pan-American Highway, which extends south (despite its discontinuity in Panama) to Argentina...
Proposals for a highway to Alaska originated in the 1920s. Thomas MacDonald, director of the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, dreamed of an international highway spanning the United States and Canada. In order to promote the highway, Slim Williams originally travelled the proposed route by dog sled. Since much of the route would pass through Canada, support from the Canadian government was crucial. However, the Canadian government perceived no value in putting up the required funds to build the road, since the only part of Canada that would benefit was not more than a few thousand people in the Yukon.
However, some route consideration was given. The preferred route would pass through the Rocky Mountain Trench from Prince George, British Columbia to Dawson City before turning west to Fairbanks, Alaska.
The attack on Pearl Harbor and beginning of the Pacific Theatre in World War II, coupled with Japanese threats to the west coast of North America and the Aleutian Islands, changed the priorities for both nations. On February 6, 1942 the construction of the Alaska Highway was approved by the United States Army and the project received the authorization from the U.S. Congress and President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proceed five days later. Canada agreed to allow construction as long as the United States bore the full cost, and that the road and other facilities in Canada be turned over to Canadian authority after the war ended.
The official start of construction took place on March 8, 1942...
