Build To Suit

The bare frame rails behind the cabin of a cab and chassis truck have no fifth wheel hitch, as would a prime mover or tractor truck designed to haul semi-trailers. Instead, an upfitter can add a truck body to the chassis to equip the vehicle for a particular role. Common options include a tipper, tray, service body, beavertail, lube and/or fuel tank, tow body, Pantech box, chipper body, knuckle boom crane, drilling derrick, spreader body, beverage body, curtainside body, or hooklift. Other choices include refuse collection and compaction equipment, a cherry picker, log carrier, concrete agitator, livestock body, car carrier, refrigerator (reefer) body, vacuum system, water tank, concrete pump, or grain body.

When a cab and chassis truck is upfitted with a body and perhaps related equipment, such as a street sweeper assembly, it is sold as such under the proper category, such as Sweeper Trucks.
