Aluminum Livestock Body ?

[JW IN VA]

Does anyone make a 20' or 24' Aluminum Livestock bed any longer? Looking at EBY site only shows a pickup box.
I know most have gone to trailers but it seems like there's still a place for a 2 1/2 ton truck to haul cattle.
I've even seen 8' covered aluminum beds in the past. Friend had a 12' on a 1 ton F350. Handy truck for small loads.

I know they make them because I have seen them. But I don't know who does it. I would try Wilson. They make stock trailers and semi cattle trailers so something like that should be right up their alley.

Wilson is a great choice also but much farther away.

Thanks for the replies. Not looking to buy one. Just wondered.
Here everything was EBY for years. Not that far to the plant in Pennsylvania.
Most were owned by BTO or custom haulers.
Lots of one ton to 2 and a half ton trucks have been replaced by trailers.
Lot of calves were hauled in on a half ton pickup with wooden racks. Now you rarely see a set of stock racks. For a while their were some slide in racks made of square tubing. Usually had two gates that open out and the tailgate was used when loading.

Don't see the loading ramps here anymore unless it is a place where they load out semis.
