Looking for a little help here.

I got a quote $24,000.00 for a 12 foot southco body. This seems very pricey to me

What have you guys payed for yours?
 
I was quoted $18.5 for a 12hd body if I did the up fit. I wanna saw it was around $20 or a touch under if they did the up fit. This was last November when I was looking.
 
Wow, those are expensive! I had a custom 12’ aluminum body quoted by a local company here, $16k installed, including the hoist, and toolboxes under the bed that aren’t mounted yet.

The bed pictured went to a different company, ours also includes a mat rack and a removable roof, plus a taller roof height. 2AC641A2-7686-4ABD-B42B-B252E5677336.jpeg

Definitely not cheap, but a lot more reasonable than some of the other companies around, and these guys build every bed custom, nothing is “stock” there. They had a two month wait last I checked; we have postponed our build until this virus thing is figured out, we don’t want to put out $70k for a new truck until we know we will be able to keep it busy.
 
My chip truck got totaled two weeks ago (10 wheeler backed into it).
I can’t wait that long since I’m borrowing a friends old beater truck.

How about switch n go??
Anyone have a ballpark price on a 10-12 foot body with the switch n go hoist setup??
