Panel and Tapered Panel Body

The panel and tapered panel bodies offer interior work space with three or four full-length shelves on each side to provide carrying space for long-handled tools and equipment. In addition, they feature numerous exterior compartments with spring-loaded door holders on all vertical doors for ease of operation. Solid rear access doors lock securely with a two-point locking system.

Both the panel and tapered panel bodies are built on the Classic II™ service body and are available in heights of 50″, 60″ and 72″. All models are available in fuel-saving aluminum or heavy-duty galvannealed steel and are protected by Reading’s exclusive Triple Protection E-coat primer and powder coat finish.

There are many service bodies on the market, but there’s only one Classic II™. The Classic II™ steel service body, available for both single rear wheel and dual wheel chassis, is built with premium A60 coating-weight steel construction and our exclusive Triple Protection E-coat primer and powder coat finish to resist corrosion better than any other truck body on the market. The Reading Classic II™ offers features not found on any other service truck body. Our pressed diamond plate floor and inner tailgate surface provides superior strength and durability. Our patented hidden hinge system is fully adjustable and theft-resistant. Our exclusive Dual-Pro® seal system offers expanded door clearances and superior weather protection. And that’s just the beginning. Add our industry-leading 6-year limited warranty and it’s easy to see why there’s No Body Better than the Classic II™.
