E-350 box options

I stopped by in person this morning. Good stuff.

For anyone considering it, building your own box for a brand new truck has some vehicle title hurdles. The title comes from Ford as an incomplete vehicle. Once the box is done, you will have to have your state certify it as road worthy and change the title to a normal title. Ujoint Colorado is working with a few custom box manufacturers to build boxes for these trucks, but that is a little ways off in the future.

That puts me pretty firmly in the Rockport box camp. Rockport will certify the vehicle as complete. Ujoint said they have many people out in the wild with Rockport boxes and they work just fine.
very nice. is this your vehicle? if yes, did you buy as incomplete and have Rockport put the box on? I'm in California, and definitely don't want to wrestle with the DMV. I see a few Wabash online from time to time, but they are always on the east coast.

That is not mine, that is the one they were welding up a custom subframe for, that you posted about.

I am still trying to work out a couple final details on the Rockport box. I don’t want to wrestle with the DMV either.

Are you buying the vehicle as a cutaway and having someone mount the box, or buying the vehicle with the box installed?

For me, the biggest bummer about wanting to buy a new off the shelf box truck is that none of them are on the West Coast, where I am located. I have to pay a ton to have it shipped to California, and then pay to have it shipped to Chris or Justin at UJOR. Justin is in CO, so I would probably just drive. Should have all my money by mid October, but pretty much got all my research done. Still bouncing back in forth between 35s and 37s, but was mistakenly under the impression you could stuff a 35 spare underneath. I guess I had a senior moment. So, now leaning towards 37s.

This is the SRW 10' Wabash. It is available with the rear barn doors as well.
