Seeking help to identify chipper truck body

[lookingbandit]

Unfortunately, I have been the victim of multiple break-ins to a construction site by the vehicle photo shown. It’s clearly a chipper truck which can tip on its own, and I am trying to identify as much as I can. I thought a forum such as this may have some luck of people knowing unique info such as year, manufacturer, etc.

In my own research, this box appears to be rather unique with the crossbar on the front as well as only three panel sections. It’s a Ford F series truck I think an F250

Looks like a privately made chip box to me, not one of the big names.

what are some of the big names or do you have any ideas on how I could identify/find?

The body appears to have a rack system and vent up there. Ariel pic would shed more light on that if you find a truck body that fits these pics. No two will have the same stuff on top. Most have nothing on top

Maybe, maybe not but something is up there.

from some other photos i'm pretty certain it's a ladder

any ideas on the typical makers of these chipper bodies?

Have you talked to law enforcement? It is possible they have heard/seen these idiots associated with other crimes.

of course. they told me to find a license plate before they will do anything

I agree. So you just need a better shot.
Move the camera? Add another? Trim the tree back?

Electrify the fence and add an automatic water cannon that should be a hell of a show to watch

Clearance lights on the top of the cab make me think it is an F350 instead of and F250.

Might be right, who puts a big box on a 250 ?

3/4 ton comm registration is much cheaper than 1 ton registration in some states due to GVW. Like hundreds of dollars per year cheaper. Not saying that's the case here but I know of instances where 3/4 tons are preferred for this reason.

Clearance lights are an option on f250.

Now a day you have to do the detective work your self. Go see what other cameras on the road could have picked up on this since you have a time they should be easy to find. Don't some traffic lights have cams, the Police could nail them if they wanted, all they have to do is look at traffic cams for a truck that matches that one and get the plate.
