Yes, we have the "Pro Survey Pack" on our survey truck (F150). Was installed a little over 5 years ago. Still works great. One of the best features is the roller coaster bed slide.

I ordered the roller coaster slide from them last fall and have nothing but praise for the staff and their product.

I'm thinking of the two low sides and the locking center hood. Our instruments ride in the truck and I think I can put prism rods, two tripods, and hand tools in the side boxes. Then stakes, shovel, rods, cones, ect. in the bed of the truck.

Waiting for a quote...

They are based out of Central Point Oregon.

I toured their facility when ordering the pro surveyor pack.
I was very impressed. Everyone looked like they were enjoying their job. They were building anything from simple headache racks, flatbeds, boxes, even top of the line drift boats. They ship all over the world. I left there wondering why there are not more companies like this one in my area.

All their products have a lifetime guarantee.

The pro surveyor pack is much more economical than a service body.

Pro's
1.) Good company
2.) Good warranty

Cons's
1.) I had to replace the locks due to a design flaw. They offered to either do it for me or send parts.

2.) The center lid will not open in the winter during freezing weather. This only occurs when there has been rain followed by freezing temps or snow melting then re-freezing. Not a deal breaker for me.

3.) The diamond plating will literally blind you on a sunny day. It is very annoying. They do custom work. I would seriously consider having them coat them with the spray on bed liner.

I also ordered a headache rack as well as a light bar. There is a funky looking rack that mounts to the back of the box, that functions similar to a lumber rack.

I opted for two trays, one in each side box. Still need to put a couple milk crates in the side boxes.

Be sure and make yourself a way to strap those instrument boxes securely so they don't tip over.

The slider insert is a must for a long bed truck. It's the only way to access that storage at the front of the bed.
