Carter Chevrolet sells Chevy Silverado HD trucks fitted with Stahl service bodies — the lockable, exterior-compartment work bodies that turn a pickup into a mobile shop. Our sister company, OEM Truck Equipment, installs them on-site in Okarche, so you buy the truck and get the Stahl body built without shipping the chassis across the country. We typically keep standard service body trucks in stock and build mechanic and crane bodies to order.
For a field-service crew, the truck is the shop. A Stahl service body replaces the pickup bed with a set of lockable, exterior-access compartments down both sides and an open cargo area in the middle — so every wrench, fitting, and part has a home you can reach from the curb instead of climbing into a bed and digging under a topper.
Here’s what makes buying one from us different: you don’t have to order a truck from one place and ship it off somewhere else to get the body built. Our sister company, OEM Truck Equipment, sits on the same street in Okarche and installs the Stahl body right here. You buy the Silverado from Carter, OEM builds the body, and you drive away with a finished work truck — no cross-country freight, no middleman, no guessing about who to call if something needs adjusting.
A Stahl service body is a work body that replaces a truck’s pickup bed with lockable exterior compartments — doors and drawers down both sides plus a center cargo area — keeping tools and parts organized, secure, and reachable without climbing into the bed. Stahl is a long-established service body manufacturer.
Instead of an open pickup bed, a service body gives you a wall of compartments you open from the outside. Each door locks. Shelves and drawer kits divide the space so a plumber’s fittings, an electrician’s spools, or an oilfield tech’s tools each have a dedicated spot. The middle stays open for larger cargo, a pipe rack, or a crane mount. It’s the difference between a truck you carry tools in and a truck you actually work out of.
Carter Chevrolet’s sister company, OEM Truck Equipment, installs Stahl service bodies on-site in Okarche, OK. Buying the Silverado and having the Stahl body built in the same place means no shipping the chassis out for upfit, a single point of contact, and a finished work truck ready to go.
Most dealers who sell an upfitted truck are coordinating with a body shop hundreds of miles away — the truck ships out, gets built, and ships back, and if something’s off you’re on the phone between two companies. We don’t work that way. OEM Truck Equipment is our own upfit shop, right here on Oklahoma Ave, and they build the Stahl bodies in-house.
A Silverado 2500HD handles most standard Stahl service bodies. Step up to the 3500HD — or the 3500HD Chassis Cab — for a longer or loaded body, full drawer kits, or a mechanic or crane build, where the higher weight rating and available dual rear wheels do the work.
The right chassis comes down to how heavy the finished truck will be once the body, tools, and any crane or compressor are on it. Here’s the simple version.
| If you need… | Go with… |
|---|---|
| A standard service body for tools and parts | Silverado 2500HD |
| A longer or fully loaded body, heavy drawer kits | Silverado 3500HD (SRW or dually) |
| A mechanic body with a crane and compressor | Silverado 3500HD / 3500HD Chassis Cab |
For the full breakdown of the HD trucks themselves, see our Silverado HD buyer’s guide.
Carter typically keeps standard Stahl service body trucks in stock and builds mechanic bodies and crane bodies to order through OEM Truck Equipment. Standard service bodies suit most trades; mechanic and crane bodies add field-repair capability on a heavier chassis.
This is the everyday work body: lockable compartments both sides, open center cargo area, ready for shelves and drawer kits. It’s what most HVAC, plumbing, electrical, utility, and telecom crews need, and it’s what we try to keep on the ground so you can drive one home now.
When the truck needs to make field repairs, a mechanic body adds the heavier build to mount a crane and air compressor. We don’t stock as many of these, but OEM Truck Equipment builds them to order — matched to a 3500HD-class chassis with the weight rating to carry it safely.
If your crew works out of the truck, this is the body for you. Around Oklahoma we build these for HVAC and plumbing contractors, electricians, oilfield and gas service techs, utility and telecom crews, welders, and municipal fleets — anyone who needs tools organized, locked, and reachable at the job site. And because Carter delivers statewide, we can get a finished Stahl truck to your yard anywhere in Oklahoma.
Stahl isn’t the only service body we install. OEM Truck Equipment also builds Reading and CM service bodies — and CM does flatbeds and hauler beds too. We’re not going to tell you one brand is objectively “the best,” because all three are quality bodies. Honestly, it comes down to two things: the brand you prefer and what we have in stock. Know the brand you want? We’ll build it. Just need a solid service truck ready to go? We’ll show you what’s on the ground. Either way, no pressure.
