If You Can Describe It, We Can Build It
Every custom Alumbody bed starts with a conversation about how you work. We have built traffic control bodies with arrow board racks, camper platforms with integrated storage, contractor beds with topsider boxes and ladder racks, and fleet configurations with CNG tank accommodations. Whatever your job demands, we design and fabricate the aluminum bed that matches it exactly.
- Custom dimensions, shapes and configurations
- Integrated toolboxes, racks and compartments
- Specialty bodies: traffic control, contractor, pool service
- Powder coating and custom finishes
- Fleet builds with standardized specs
- Built and installed at our Orange, CA facility
Why Alumbody Custom Builds
30 years of fabrication experience means no concept is too unusual — and no detail is too small.

When a Catalog Bed Will Not Cut It
Most of what we build does not appear in a brochure. A municipal traffic-control truck needs cone racks, arrow-board mounts, and a generator compartment that vents under load. A camper-hauler needs a flat aluminum deck tied into the frame so a slide-in pops on and off without flexing the body. A CNG fleet needs vented tank wells that meet NFPA 52 clearances. A line-clearance crew wants insulated tool boxes, a buck-board step, and a chainsaw scabbard within arm's reach of the cab. Every one of those builds is one-of-a-kind, and every one of them is what we mean by "custom."
The build starts with a site visit or a phone call where we walk through how the truck is loaded, what tools live on it full-time, what the driver complains about on the current bed, and what the truck has to do that a stock body cannot. We sketch the layout in CAD, send dimensioned drawings for sign-off, then fabricate in-house in Orange, California — no contract welding, no farmed-out paint. The result is a body that fits the job the first time, instead of a generic bed the crew has to work around.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of jobs do custom beds usually serve?
Traffic control, line-clearance and tree care, irrigation, HVAC service, pool service, mobile welding, camper hauling, fleet utility, CNG and propane delivery, and municipal maintenance — among others. If the job needs a layout a catalog body does not solve, we build for it.
Do I need engineered drawings before you can quote?
No. A conversation, a few photos of the current truck, and a description of what you load is enough to scope the project. We produce the CAD drawings as part of the build.
What is the lead time on a one-off custom bed?
Typical lead time is 6–10 weeks from approved drawings to delivery, including paint or powder coat. Fleet builds with repeat specs run faster on units 2 through N.
