Pickup Conversion to Chassis Cab

We are aware that some vehicle owners might consider
having the pickup box removed and a commercial or
recreational body installed. Owners should be aware
that, as manufactured, there are differences between
a chassis cab and a pickup with the box removed
which could affect vehicle safety. The components
necessary to adapt a pickup to permit its safe use
with a specialized body should be installed by the
body builder.
