Stake Bed Bodies for Commercial Truck Upfits and Replacements

A stake bed body is the cargo-carrying component of a stake bed truck, consisting of a flat platform, stake pockets and removable wooden or steel stake boards. Buyers sourcing a replacement body for an aging chassis or building a new upfit from a cab chassis platform will need to match the body specifications to their truck frame dimensions and payload requirements.

Stake bodies are used across a wide range of industries including landscaping, construction, farming, produce distribution and general freight. The open stake configuration allows versatile loading from all sides while the removable stakes provide adjustable containment for different cargo types.

What to Match When Sourcing a Stake Body

When sourcing a used stake bed body, buyers need to match the body length and width to the cab chassis wheelbase and cab-to-axle measurement, confirm that the subframe and mounting provisions are compatible with the truck frame, and verify that the body’s rated capacity supports the planned cargo weight.

Buyers should also inspect stake pocket condition, cross-member integrity, floor planking or decking material and condition, and the overall mounting system. Corrosion at mounting points and stake pockets is common on bodies that have seen years of outdoor use and should be evaluated before purchase.
