About Norstar Service Bodies
Norstar is a Texas-born manufacturer — they build their truck bodies in Weatherford, TX — and their understanding of Texas work environments shows in the product. Norstar service bodies are constructed from high-strength steel with a durable powder-coat finish. Their compartment designs prioritize field accessibility and weather resistance, with positive-latch doors, stainless steel hinges, and sloped compartment floors to prevent water pooling.
Norstar Service Body Models
At Star Truck Equipment, we offer several Norstar service body configurations:
- Norstar SR Series Service Body — The SR (Service Rack) is Norstar’s core service body platform. Available in 8′, 9′, and 10′ body lengths with standard side compartments and rear doors. The SR fits Ford F-250 through F-550, Ram 2500 through 5500, and Chevy Silverado 2500HD through 4500HD platforms.
- Norstar SRW Service Body (Single Rear Wheel) — A narrower body profile optimized for SRW trucks where DRW fender clearance isn’t needed. Popular for plumbers, electricians, and HVAC contractors running F-250 or Ram 2500 class trucks.
- Norstar SD Service Body — The SD (Service Deck) combines a service body lower compartment structure with a flatbed-style upper deck. This hybrid is popular with contractors who need both compartment storage and flat deck space for materials or equipment.
