Imagine starting your morning in the quiet suburban neighborhoods of Calcutta, OH, heading out to a job site with a truck designed specifically for heavy-duty applications. Whether you are upfitting this chassis for a custom service body, a dump bed, or a flatbed, its heavy-duty construction ensures it can handle the rigorous demands of the Tri-State area.
