Flatbed Truck Bodies for Sale — Installation & Upfitting in Wharton, TX
Looking for a heavy-duty flatbed body for your truck? Star Truck Equipment stocks the best flatbed truck bodies from top manufacturers — Bedrock, CM Truck Beds, Norstar, and Pronghorn — ready for same-day installation at our Wharton, Texas shop. Whether you’re outfitting a single work truck or an entire commercial fleet, we carry flatbeds built to handle the toughest jobs in Texas.
Why Choose a Flatbed Truck Body?
A flatbed body replaces your factory pickup bed with a rugged, open-deck steel platform engineered for serious hauling and towing. Flatbeds are the go-to choice for ranchers, farmers, contractors, oilfield crews, and municipal fleets because they offer:
- Maximum payload capacity — carry lumber, pipe, equipment, and oversized loads that won’t fit in a standard bed
- Integrated gooseneck & bumper-pull hitches — tow heavy trailers straight from the factory with a 30K-rated gooseneck receiver
- 360-degree access — load and unload from any side without tailgate restrictions
- Extreme durability — heavy-gauge steel construction with durable powder-coat finishes that resist Texas weather
- Customizable configurations — available for single rear wheel (SRW) and dual rear wheel (DRW) cab & chassis trucks in multiple cab-to-axle lengths
Flatbed Brands We Carry
Bedrock Flatbeds
The Bedrock Granite Series represents premium flatbed construction. Built with heavy-gauge American steel and finished with a durable powder-coat, Bedrock flatbeds feature standard gooseneck and bumper-pull hitches, LED lighting, headache rack, and integrated stake pockets. Bedrock is known for tight tolerances, clean welds, and a fit-and-finish that sets the bar in the industry.

CM is the best-selling truck bed brand in America, and for good reason. We stock multiple CM flatbed models:
