This 1952
Chevrolet Model 5700 15,000lb. GVWR (the equivalent of today's 4500) truck started life working for Coca-Cola in the Mid-West with a beverage body out back. At some point it was relegated to life on the farm where it worked with a dumping grain body.

A few years ago a used car dealer in Berkley, MA rescued it from the scrapper's torch and dragged it home for a meticulous
2 year restoration. The truck retains it's original 250 cubic inch, inline 6
cylinder engine with 4 speed transmission and vacuum operated 2-speed rear axle.
The only modification made to the truck was an upgrade from a 6 to 12 volt
system.

Aquidneck Machine contracted to build (to customer spec) the period looking auto transport
body for this 1952 Chevrolet.
The body is 16ft. long overall and has a curved transition deck.
A 5000# line pull Warn winch is recessed into the deck up front with a cable roller recessed in at the crest of the slope.
A pair of 7000# Ox-Lite ramps reside hidden underneath with a lever operated lowering device for access and stowage.
A pair of 48" tool boxes with Stainless Steel doors
are built into the deeply skirted sides. The only departure from 1952 technology is the
12 volt recessed lighting.
The color is current Jaguar, the paint is PPG urethane enamel, the deck is Rhino-Lined, and the results are spectacular.

11 foot Pro-Class Dump Body
performs double duty as a leaf blower body
|
This custom leaf-blower body started life as an 11ft.
Pro-Class dump body. Aquidneck Machine built removable high sides from bright aluminum treadplate, than we
raised the tailgate hinge point (and tailgate) to the same height as the
sides, providing a much larger tailgate opening to allow large loads
of mulch, grass clippings, and leaves to be dumped without laying the
tailgate down. We created an opening and
attachment provisions for the customer's BillyGoat leaf vac, which can stay
mounted while a load is dumped. The
cover is nylon mesh stretched over bows that are held in place only by the
bungees that secure the tarp. The whole leaf rig comes off in minutes when
not needed, and an aluminum plate covers the vac hole.
