Commercial truck upfitting is the process of installing equipment and configuring a standard vehicle for a specific job or commercial application. At 312 Truck Body Repair & Painting, we provide truck and fleet upfitting solutions for businesses throughout Chicago and the surrounding area.
Whether you need improved storage, job-specific equipment, truck body modifications, or a consistent configuration across multiple vehicles, our team can help develop a practical solution around the way your fleet works.
Every project begins with a review of the vehicle, the equipment being installed, and the work it needs to perform. Depending on the vehicle and application, upfitting may include:
