I built this box for my truck and have had a lot of other lawn company's stop and ask where I got it. The one on my truck has steel frame work with aluminum sheeting. One of the LCO's had ask me to build them one and that is all it took. I have built and sold 6 of them so far, but out of all steel since steel is much cheaper. Custom made to there trucks most were under $699.00.

How long would it take for one to be completed? What is the approx. weight? Is it one piece or sections? I am very interested in purchasing one. My only concern is shipping.

I am about 2 weeks out right now, then when leaves really start falling I will probably be 4 weeks out unless I hire someone to build them for me. All I require is for you to send me the size you want and a deposit. As far as shipping goes you could try uship.com you can get good shipping rates there.

I finished my box for this year but I am definitely interested in having you build me one in the future. Preferably made of aluminum siding with steel reinforcements

Hello, I am still interested in one of these to be made. Approximately how much does it weigh? I need to know so I can get a quote for Uship. If it's too much I may just take the drive.
