Orcas Tow Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Im looking for a Chevron 408 wrecker bed, just need the bed but would consider the whole rear wrecker bed/boom, my bed sides are rotten. 2001 independent. Thanks. 1 Quote Hello from sunny (when its not raining) Orcas Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsTowing Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Good luck with that...they are non existent back east here. Could you use a newer generation aluminum body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, I have called all over the West Coast to Chevron dealers & they do not want to sell just the back end/wrecker bed, they will only sell it mounted one a new chassis & I prefer my 7.3 non emission diesel for reliability & ease of maintenance/repair. 1 Quote Hello from sunny (when its not raining) Orcas Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwacker Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Exactly what everyone told me trying to buy a mpl40. That the supply is so limited that they would only sell it mounted to a new chassis.

dperone Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Have you thought about redoing the sides in house? We did one of our renegades a few years back and it came out pretty nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hesitate to do that as the rust holes are not only on the sides but coming up around the corner in the controls area too. From my experience theres double underneath compared to whats visible. 1 Quote Hello from sunny (when its not raining) Orcas Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was our issue too. Problem is being from the northeast every other body had the same issue. As much as I loved the looks of the Chevron steel body, the rust issue drives me nuts, they seem to rust through the second salt hits them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
