    Need 11' standard chip box w/ or w/out hoist near MN

    Looking for an asplundh take-off chip box or the like. 11' max length to put on a F550 chassis with or without hoist. Anyone know of something near MN or within say 500 miles? (I'm helping another guy out -not for me). We're already aware of those selling from some of the larger companies for $2500+. Looking for something cheaper and closer to MN. Let me know if you have an old truck sitting in the weeds or know of a salvage box sitting around and I'll forward the info. thanks.

    14 gauge sheets. It has held up really well, the graphics are hardly scratched as of yet and I have had the truck over a year.

    The steel cost about a grand, took me and two guys a day to do, my local truck shop painted it for 400 (I think they underbid it) and I got the graphics done for about 1500.

    decent build job. Unfortunately, wouldn't be as practical for the guy I'm helping as he has neither a flatbed nor hoist to build from, only a chassis. Would be more cost effective to buy the entire box with hoist than to acquire the flatbed and hoist and then build the box.

    would be great if someone had a junk truck sitting around but a sound box and hoist to salvage from it - even if the box needed some tlc but wasn't all rusted through.

    I know it's a long way from MN but theres an old Asplundh 11' box for sale in New Hampshire. It's on craigslist. I can't remember how much but it was cheap.

    thanks for your help. I found Luke (guy I was helping) an older chip truck just an hour away from him and it had a good 11' box and hoist that he could use. He's just going to sell the remaining chassis. I think it's an early '80s c60 or c70 with a good 350 engine and standard manual tranny. Pretty slow on the road though - it's geared to pull Luke told me. Anyways, if you want a cheap cab and chassis or part truck in the st cloud, mn area, let me know and I'll give you Luke's phone number.

    Do you know what size the box is? Is that including the tool boxes?
