Reading, PA – June 1, 2026 – Reading Truck was featured by 6abc Action News as part of its “Made in PA” series, highlighting the company’s nearly 70-year manufacturing legacy and continued impact in the work truck industry.
Founded in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1955, Reading Truck has built a strong reputation for manufacturing durable work truck bodies designed to support contractors, fleets and hardworking crews across the country. The 6abc feature gives viewers a closer look at the people, processes and craftsmanship behind the truck bodies seen on jobsites, highways and roadways nationwide.
The segment highlights Reading Truck’s fabrication and assembly process, including how truck bodies move through multiple stages of production before being prepared for shipment. It also showcases the company’s ability to customize truck bodies around customer needs, from enclosed truck bodies to toolboxes and other work-ready configurations.
“We’re honored to be featured in 6abc’s Made in PA series,” said Christopher Brown, President of Reading Truck Body. “This recognition reflects the hard work, dedication and craftsmanship of our team members who build quality products every day and continue the manufacturing legacy that began right here in Reading.”
A major milestone in Reading Truck’s history came in 1981, when the company introduced the first aluminum service truck body. Today, Reading Truck continues to manufacture and ship work truck bodies from its Reading location while supporting customers through its Reading Truck centers and national distribution network.
Being recognized as part of the Made in PA series reinforces what has been true since 1955: Reading Truck remains committed to American manufacturing and commitment to helping customers work smarter, safer and more efficiently.
