Detroit’s commercial vehicle landscape demands toughness. From construction crews hauling materials across Oakland County to utility workers servicing infrastructure throughout southeast Michigan, your truck isn’t just transportation — it’s your mobile workspace. Reading Truck’s location in Pontiac provides the upfitting expertise that turns a chassis into a job-ready solution.
We’ve built our reputation on understanding what matters most to fleet managers and owner-operators. That means delivering reliable installations that hold up to real-world use, service bodies engineered for Michigan weather and fast turnaround times. Our facility handles the complete upfitting process, from helping you select the right body configuration to final quality checks.
Building Work Vehicles That Match Detroit’s Work Ethic
Upfit and customize to your needs
Southeast Michigan runs on vehicles built to perform. Our upfitting services give you exactly what your operations need.
- Custom service body installations: We mount steel and aluminum bodies designed for contractors, utilities and field service operations. Secure compartment storage keeps tools organized and protected, while weathertight seals handle everything from summer humidity to winter road salt.
- Van upfit solutions: Transform cargo vans into mobile workshops with shelving systems, partition walls and roof-mounted ladder racks. We work extensively with Sprinter platforms and traditional full-size vans.
- Accessory integration: External lighting extends your workday into early mornings and late evenings. Power inverters keep batteries charged and equipment running. Remote locking systems add security when you’re parked at jobsites.
- Ship-thru coordination: As authorized commercial vehicle upfitters in Detroit, we handle OEM ship-thru arrangements that eliminate unnecessary steps and reduce your time from order to on-the-road.
You’ll also get access to parts and equipment from industry-leading manufacturers. Our connection to JBPCO brands — Morgan, Morgan Olson, and Masterack — means broader options and faster parts availability.
Installation Done Right the First Time
Mounting a service body properly requires understanding weight distribution, electrical integration and how your specific chassis behaves under load. Our technicians have the training to handle these details correctly, which translates to fewer callbacks and longer body life.
We know you’re not just building a truck. You’re building your future. That’s why we take the time to get it right from the start.
Service That Keeps You Moving
Once your truck hits the road, our team provides the maintenance and repair services that prevent small issues from becoming larger problems. Annual certifications help keep your equipment compliant and operating effectively. Should unexpected repairs come up, we handle emergency service calls and dispatch mobile technicians to get you back to work.
For fleet operators managing multiple vehicles, this ongoing support means less downtime across your entire operation. We service trucks we’ve provided the bodies for, as well as equipment from other major brands. Our team handles compartment repairs, seal replacements and troubleshooting.
