Looking for a reliable service body for your truck? Look no further than the Classic II Aluminum Service Body from Reading. This body offers a wide range of benefits, from superior fuel economy to increased payload and unmatched corrosion resistance.

One of the standout features of the Classic II is its nitrogen gas strut door holders. All vertical compartment doors are equipped with these struts, which hold the doors in the open position and provide a smooth, controlled motion on close to prevent overslam and body damage.

In addition, Reading's stainless steel rotary locks and paddle handles also provide a clean, fastener-free appearance that is both professional and functional. The locks and handles include a pry-resistant, automotive-style "free-wheeling" design with double-bitted keys. Handles are gasketed and include O-rings to prevent water intrusion. Locks are compatible with Reading's optional Latch-Matic remote locking system.

For improved traction and sure-footed access to the cargo area, Reading service and enclosed utility bodies are offered with a selection of "pooched" bumpers. These galvannealed steel bumpers are available either straight or with a center recess to provide easy access to a trailer hitch.

To resist forcible entry and provide a clean, professional appearance, Reading's signature hidden hinges are fully adjustable and easy to replace without special tools. They are designed to protect against corrosion without requiring frequent lubrication or maintenance.

The slam-action tailgate on the Classic II is easy to open and shut with a pickup-style latch and slam-action closure. It includes a stainless steel polished handle and a 14" tall treadplate working surface for sure-footed access to the loadspace. The latching hardware is also stainless steel, including knee braces, locking rods, hinge rods, and striker channels. Knee braces are removable and protect against rust and corrosion while allowing the tailgate to swing down completely.

Reading service and enclosed utility bodies are designed with seamless wheelhouse panels to give dirt, moisture, and corrosives fewer places to collect. Additionally, the heavy-gauge aluminum crossmembers and longitudinal rails of the understructure help to protect against long-term wear and corrosion while keeping the service body at a lower weight. The heavy-duty aluminum compartment doors are made from heavy-gauge aluminum and are designed for strength and tested for reliability.

The Classic II Aluminum Service Body from Reading offers a range of features and benefits that are sure to save you money and time. Its combination of fuel efficiency, increased payload, and corrosion resistance make it a smart investment for any truck owner.
