Did you know that our Chevy work truck body styles at Carl Black Chevrolet of Nashville are perfect for commercial upfits? Maybe you're a Nashville, TN, delivery service that needs a furniture delivery box truck – Chevy trucks like the Silverado 3500 HD Chassis Cab can do the job. Our dealership can also help you decide between upfitting your delivery truck with a ramp vs. liftgate: Chevy models can handle both. If you're a local landscaper, Chevy dump vs. stake bed comparisons will be right up your alley, or you might create a Chevy wrecker with a simple tow truck upfit.
Whether you need a Chevy service body truck, utility body truck, flatbed, or auger or crane add-ons, commercial truck upfitting is your ticket to successful business growth in Tennessee – and Carl Black Chevrolet of Nashville can guide you through the entire process, from customization to placing an order.
Chevrolet makes it simple to figure out which work truck body styles your business needs. When combined with professional upfit options, a pickup body or a chassis cab body can transform into enclosed mobile workspaces, an electrician service body, a plumber utility body, a flatbed, an HVAC Chevy service truck, and so much more. The only question is, which body style pairs with the Chevrolet truck upfitting you need most?
Above, we discussed the two distinct Chevy work truck body styles: pickups and chassis cabs. Both have advantages and drawbacks, and some are better suited for certain industries than others. For example:
To help you pinpoint the body style you might need to grow your Tennessee-based business, keep your crew happy, and reach new levels of success, we've compiled an overview of each Chevrolet option you can finance through our Carl Black dealership.
Similar to the Chevy Colorado, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is another pickup body style that's somewhat versatile with its upfitting and very adaptable to small spaces like residential driveways, parking garages, or off-road job sites.
The Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD is the most common choice for Tennessee businesses because it can be useful in so many scenarios, and it is offered in both pickup and chassis cab configurations. You might modify your 3500 Chassis Cab to become a Chevy refrigerated box truck or add a fixed-side flatbed and hydraulic lift for construction site dumping.
Monstrous strength comes from these top-spec, diesel-powered trucks. Select a Monroe and Knapheide dump body for Silverado 4500 Chassis Cab designs and higher to ensure your truck's payload is high enough. The same logic applies to winter plowing companies that fit their work trucks with a snow plow prep package: Silverado 6500 models are best equipped for those jobs.
The most trusted upfit brands for Chevrolet work trucks tend to be Knapheide, Monroe Truck Equipment, Reading Truck, and CM Truck Beds. These companies offer a wide range of upfits specifically designed to fit Chevrolet trucks, ranging from 2500 and 3500 to 6500 Silverado models. They also offer a choice of upfit material, so you can compare the benefits of an aluminum vs. steel service body – Chevy trucks can match with both – and find your company's best match.
We're proud of our Chevy work truck body styles in Nashville, TN. They provide local and nationwide businesses with the payload, towing, and cargo capacities to haul, hoist, and deliver exceptional products and services. Even better, our Chevy work truck body styles can be customized and ordered in whatever configuration you need! When your company wants a personalized Chevy flatbed truck, or you can't decide between a Chevy bucket truck, hauler bed, or reefer body, Chevrolet associates at our Tennessee dealership are standing by to help.
If a work truck doesn't quite fit the bill, you can also turn to our store for Chevy commercial vans. Vans can be fantastic solutions for last-mile delivery. Chevy upfits can sweeten the deal by adding custom work van interior packages with secure interior storage and efficiency-boosting organization.
It can be easy to confuse GVWR with GCWR, but here's how to tell the difference: GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, is the maximum weight of a work vehicle and includes passengers, cargo, and fuel. GCWR, or Gross Combined Weight Rating, is the maximum total weight of a work vehicle, its hitch, and its trailer when the trailer is attached and fully loaded.
Service bodies from Knapheide, Reading, CM, and other reputable brands can easily fit a Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Chassis Cab, as long as the body matches your truck's specific cab-to-axle, or CA, dimensions and weight specifications. Typical Chevy Silverado Chassis Cab CA measurements are 60 and 84.5 inches, but you can also talk to our dealership about CAs that are longer on larger chassis trucks.
We recommend that you first determine which Chevy work truck body styles you'll need, then match that body to a Silverado Chassis Cab cab-to-axle dimension. For instance, if you own a landscaping company and need a Chevy dump body truck, you might pair a Knapheide fixed-side dump body with a Chevy Silverado 3500 Chassis Cab with a cab-to-axle length of 60 inches.
