We work with all major refrigeration body brands and can coordinate with refrigeration unit technicians for complete reefer trailer and refrigerated van servicing. Learn more on our repairs page.

What is truck bodyworks and do you offer it?

Truck bodyworks refers to panel beating, structural modifications, repaints, and aesthetic restoration of truck bodies. Our truck bodyworks service covers collision damage repair, re-sheeting, re-painting, and full body refurbishments. It's ideal when a body is structurally sound but needs significant cosmetic or surface restoration.

Do you offer fleet services for truck bodies?

Yes. Our fleet services program is designed for transport companies and logistics operators who need ongoing truck body maintenance, priority repairs, and scheduled inspections for multiple vehicles. We offer priority scheduling, volume-based pricing, and dedicated account management for fleet operators.

Can you modify an existing truck body?

Absolutely. We regularly modify existing truck bodies — adding internal racking, changing door configurations, extending or shortening body length, adding refrigeration, converting colorbody to curtainsider, and more. All modifications are engineered and certified to Australian standards.

How much does a new truck body cost?

Pricing varies depending on body type, size, materials, and complexity. As a general guide:

• Aluminium tray bodies: from approximately $4,000–$12,000+
• Pantech / colorbody van bodies: from approximately $8,000–$20,000+
• Refrigerated van bodies: from approximately $15,000–$40,000+ depending on size and insulation spec
• Curtainsider bodies: from approximately $10,000–$25,000+

These are indicative ranges only — all builds are custom-quoted. Contact us for an accurate quote based on your specific requirements.

Do you offer a warranty on truck body builds?

Yes. All new truck bodies built by VN Truck Bodies come with a workmanship warranty.

We stand behind the quality of our work and will address any warranty issues promptly.

Are VN Truck Bodies builds compliant with Australian regulations?

Yes. All truck bodies we build comply with Australian Design Rules (ADRs), Victorian road transport regulations, and relevant Australian Standards. We design and build to ensure your vehicle remains within legal mass limits, axle loads, and dimensional requirements. Compliance documentation is provided with all new builds.

Can you certify a truck body modification or repair?

Yes. We work with registered engineers and certifiers to provide engineering certification for structural modifications, chassis extensions, body changes that affect vehicle mass or dimensions, and other work requiring certification under Victorian road transport law. Ask us about certification when requesting a quote for complex modifications.

What materials do you use for truck body builds?

We use high-quality Australian and internationally sourced materials including:

• Marine-grade aluminium for trays and structural framing
• Zincalume and Colorbond steel sheeting
• Fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels
• Polyurethane foam insulation for refrigerated bodies
• Heavy-duty PVC curtains for curtainsiders
• Hardwood and composite flooring

Material selection is matched to your application — we recommend the right spec for durability, weight, and cost.

What chassis brands does VN Truck Bodies work with?

We build and fit truck bodies to all major chassis brands including Isuzu, Hino, Fuso, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Kenworth, Western Star, MAN, Scania, DAF, and UD Trucks. We also work with rigid body trucks, cab-overs, and semi-trailer configurations. If your chassis isn't listed, contact us — we're experienced with almost all commercial vehicle platforms.
