Douglass Truck Bodies Maximizer |
|
Welcome quality Douglass Truck Bodies to the CTS IdeaLetter!
Here is one great example of a sweet crane body. This is the Maximizer Crane Body. It is shown with a 3200# Auto Crane with 250# mechanic drawers, built in fliptop on the drivers side and raised sides to match the curbside. Also shown is the cab protector with work lights, spray on bed liner and 6,000# capacity weld in tie downs in the cargo area.
Look at the rear work platform, second compartment drawers and horizontal compartment drawer on the curbside. This rig is ready to get the job done, and do it in style.

Douglass Truck Bodies Camper Bodies |
|
Camper Bodies!!
I know that Camper's aren't nearly as popular as they were in the past, but there is still a good demand for them and Douglass has the best solution for mounting it. Just putting a camper in a pickup bed isn't very useful when you are serious about camping. You need storage space of things you can't put inside.
How many times have you had people come in and look at your service bodies and ask if a camper will fit. Here is a company that not only makes a nice one, they have been doing it for a very long time--check out the ancient photo! Look at the shot from the rear showing how the body is customized for the specific camper. They even have a whole tab with many more photos on their awesome website: www.douglasstruckbodies.com.

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. |
