Alumbody has been hand-building aluminum truck beds since 1978. Every bed is constructed with high strength 6000 series aluminum and engineered around the chassis it's installed on.
The result is a bed that's significantly lighter than the steel-and-wood deck it replaces, won't rust, and will almost certainly outlast the truck underneath it.
Lighter than steel, free of rust, and strong where a working truck needs it.
A typical 8' Alumbody flatbed weighs 350–450 lbs versus 800–1,000 lbs for a comparable steel-and-wood bed. Less dead weight means more payload, better fuel economy, and far less stress on your suspension, brakes and tires.
We build with high strength 6000 series aluminum. It will not rust, rot or pit, even in road salt, pool chemicals, fertilizer or salt-air environments.
Low side rails, removable stake sides, integrated liftgates and removable gate options let one person load, secure and unload cargo in seconds — without climbing into the bed.
Every Alumbody bed is custom-engineered around your specific chassis, cab and wheelbase. Nothing is stamped from a generic template — your bed, your tool boxes, your tie-downs, your rails.
The features below are standard — not options, not upgrades. Every bed that leaves our shop is built to this spec, from a single fleet truck to a thousand-unit municipal order.

Sealed LED stop, tail, turn and clearance lights wired into a single weatherproof harness.

On most 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks, swapping a steel-and-wood bed for an Alumbody aluminum bed saves between 350 and 500 lbs. That translates directly into higher legal payload and noticeably better fuel economy.
Our aluminum truck beds are rated at 8,000 lbs., in most cases surpassing the truck’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
Installing an Alumbody bed does not affect your engine, transmission or drivetrain warranty. We re-use your OEM lighting harness, fuel-fill and bed-mount hardware wherever possible.
Standard flatbeds and stakebeds ship in 2–4 weeks. Heavily customized builds with lift gates or custom tool boxes may take longer depending on complexity. We'll give you a firm date when you place the order.
