New Intercontinental Landscaper |
|
I have long been a fan of Intercontinental Truck Body since I first tried one of their bodies in 1994. They build excellent products including their new Aluminum Landscaper Body shown above. Those beds are build like tanks and take serious abuse and keep on working.
The Landscape body is a modification of their well-respected Grain Body. I love the fact that it is so durable and light. Those sides are very strong, yet they are not welded. No rusting, chipping or peeling.
They also have an aluminum flatbed as shown on the Medium Duty above. Again, they are very heavy duty, save weight and are reasonably priced.
The only challenge with ITB is their location 40 miles below the Canadian border in Montana, but they will help you overcome that minor challenge! It is worth the trouble and you will have something totally new to sell.

Intercontinental Truck Body - Great Products, Unique Products |
|
Intercontinental van bodies are outstanding. They are extremely strong and durable. You can put a nice dent in a normal aluminum van body with your fist, but you will hurt yourself trying it on this body. The sides are very rigid. It is the Snap Lock Technology that allows this. Matter of fact, they are so strong, that you can see a photo of a building they made using the same materials.
If you haven't had a chance to see the difference that Intercontinental's body makes, give Andy Bevilacqua, the West Coast rep a call at 800-627-0496 or call the Customer Sales & Service line at 800-327-3349. Intercontinental is an authorized bailment pool company. |

Geweke Auto Group New Commercial Truck Website |
|
or
Larry Geweke Ford in Yuba City and Geweke Ford in Lodi have a new combined commercial truck website that just went online. The new website was built by Upward Trend Management Services and will be continually updated and expanding. Due to the specialty of the commercial truck market, having a separate website for your commercial truck operation makes perfect sense and having it built and maintained by commercial truck people, not just web people is a huge plus.
Having separate URL addresses is also a plus. Now you can promote your commercial truck department in a much better way. Now when you get a customer on the phone from outside the area or even across town, you can guide them to the website and show them large photos of what body you want them to see. Contact information is on every page, along with additional contact information on the contact page. This site just started and will continue to grow over time. It currently has 35 pages of information, links, and photos. You can really promote your commercial truck department with a site like this.
For more information, ask Paul Brown about their site, or contact Terry at 707-434-9967 to discuss a site for your store. |
