Ford vehicle applications
Choose a Ford to review chassis configurations. Body model, cab-to-axle, rear wheels and weight ratings must be checked together.
Read application notes
Historical brochure planning candidate only. Confirm current model year, chassis configuration, body dimensions and completed-truck weights with our team. KBT cab-chassis family: 10–28 ft overall range; not every size fits every chassis.
See how the body works
Explore access, storage and cargo space. Manufacturer reference photos may show optional equipment or a different chassis; each caption explains the example.
Organize and secure the load
An example cargo interior with lining and horizontal cargo-control rails. These are optional configurations, not equipment automatically included in the base body.
Cargo-control rail detail
Multiple rail positions offer attachment locations for compatible cargo-restraint equipment. Confirm rail layout, hardware and load ratings with your quote.
Loading equipment to discuss
A brochure example of a rear liftgate. Liftgates are optional; capacity, mounting and available chassis payload must be reviewed together.
Enclosed cargo space built around your work
Carry equipment, parts and dry freight in an enclosed box body. Plan access, cargo securement and loading equipment around delivery routes, general construction, plumbing, electrical or HVAC work in Fort Myers and Southwest Florida.
Construction and storage choices
- Published sidewall choices: 0.040-inch aluminum or optional 0.5-inch fiber-reinforced plywood (FRP). Aluminum uses exposed interior posts; FRP offers a smooth interior without that framing.
- Pine shiplap flooring is listed for shorter bodies; laminated hardwood is listed for bodies 18 feet and longer.
- Steel floor side rails, reinforced rear corner posts, a rear threshold with a drain groove, and aluminum roof edging.
- Rear roll-up cargo door, grab handles, exterior LED lighting and interior LED illumination.
Features shown reflect the supplied May 2022 brochure. Confirm the current build specification and included equipment with your quote. Photos show reference configurations and may include optional equipment.
Options to discuss with our team
Ask about liftgates, cargo-control tracks, lining and scuff protection, interior shelves, side doors, step bumpers, translucent roofs, nose cones and upgraded flooring. Loading equipment, body weight and carried cargo must be included in the completed-truck weight review. Options depend on the chassis and body configuration.
KBT cab-chassis body sizes
The KBT family is listed in overall lengths from 10 to 28 feet. The full range does not fit every truck. For the selected F-350 through F-600 DRW examples below, the brochure lists 96-inch body width and 78- or 84-inch interior height. Certain longer F-650/F-750 combinations list 96- or 102-inch widths and taller interiors. Select width, height and length together using the exact chassis row.
Ford chassis planning references
Fitment reference, not current-model approval: The supplied brochure is dated May 2022 and its F-Series tables specify 2021 chassis. Use the examples below to start planning only. Our team must confirm the exact model year, cab, engine, rear-wheel layout, CA, wheelbase, frame, frontal-area limits, GVWR, axle ratings and loaded weight before ordering. GVWR is the maximum rated weight of the complete truck, not its available payload. Crew Cab and SuperCab configurations are not established by these Regular Cab examples.

Read slash-separated values in matching order across each row. These are selected examples, not the complete selection guide. F-350 SRW combinations have separate width and height limits. These are chassis-cab bodies, not F-250/F-350/F-450 pickup-bed replacements.
Box-body questions
Can I buy the Ford truck and the body together?
Yes. Tell us about your cargo, route and loading requirements so we can plan the commercial vehicle and installed body together. We serve Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Estero, Bonita Springs, Naples, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte and surrounding SWFL communities.
Can I add a liftgate or cargo-control equipment?
Ask us to include these in your quote. Selection depends on the chassis, body, cargo and available weight capacity; optional equipment is not automatically included.
What does the price include?
Displayed upfit prices include professional on-site installation; tax is extra. The vehicle and optional equipment are separate unless included in your written quote. Availability and installation timing are confirmed with the quote, and purchases are completed in store.
Who provides the warranty?
Product warranty coverage comes from the product manufacturer, not Ford. Ask us to confirm the applicable coverage for the body and optional equipment.
