The Component Body (CB) is a modular design that allows the various components to move through the manufacturing process more efficiently. All components are powder coated at the piece part stage allowing for superior paint coverage. The painted components are assembled in the final production phase resulting in a complete service body. Customers can choose from a variety of options that can be swapped out in the field or in an up-fitters facility. Due to the modular design, parts are readily available for shipping or assembling into a specific body configuration as needed. All components of the CB body may be replaced if damaged, rather than replacing the entire body.
