Used Truck Chassis Cabs, Cab Shells, Bodies & Beds

Used truck chassis cabs, bodies & beds

On a heavy truck, the chassis, cab and body work together to carry the payload safely and efficiently. The chassis frame provides mounting points for the cab, body subframe and bed, while the body itself is tailored to the job – box body, curtain-sider, dropside, flatbed, tipper or specialist application.

In this category we offer used OEM chassis cabs, cab shells, body subframes and truck beds removed from complete donor vehicles. Typical examples include MAN TGX/TGS high-roof cab shells, box and dropside bodies for DAF XF/CF and Volvo FH/FM, and other heavy-duty HGV bodies for European fleets.

What you will find in the Chassis, Bodies & Beds category

Stock in this category changes as new donor trucks arrive, but it typically includes:

• Complete cab shells and chassis cabs with mounting points for doors, wings, bumpers and interior trim;
• Bare and part-equipped truck bodies such as box, curtain-side and dropside bodies with subframes;
• Flatbeds and platform beds suitable for plant, pallet and general haulage applications;
• Tipper and specialist bodies with reinforced floors, headboards and side structures;
• Body subframes and mounting kits that connect the body or bed to the chassis rails.

Each listing includes clear photos, OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details so you can compare wheelbase, cab type, mounting points and body dimensions with your own vehicle.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most parts in this category come from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF tractors and rigids used for box, curtain-sider and dropside bodies;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros long-haul and construction chassis cabs and cab shells;
• MAN TGS and TGX chassis used for platform, tipper and specialist bodies;
• Volvo FH and FM chassis cabs for general haulage and distribution work;
• Other brands such as Scania and Iveco when suitable donor trucks are available.

Because these are genuine OEM assemblies removed from complete vehicles, each cab or body can usually be linked to a specific model generation, cab height, axle layout and Euro emission class.

Why chassis cabs, bodies & beds matter

The cab shell, chassis and body are critical to safety, payload and productivity on any working HGV:

• Structural strength – the chassis and body subframe carry the load and transfer forces into the frame rails;
• Payload and access – the right body type (box, flatbed, curtain-sider or tipper) makes loading, securing and unloading cargo easier;
• Regulatory compliance – correctly built bodies and beds help trucks meet legal requirements for overall length, weight and load restraint;
• Professional appearance – a straight, rust-free cab and body help present a clean image to customers and roadside inspectors.

Typical reasons to replace or upgrade a cab, body or bed

Customers usually visit this category when:

• Accident damage has bent or distorted the cab shell or body structure;
• Corrosion or fatigue has affected the body subframe, floor or mounting points;
• The vehicle is being repurposed with a different body style, wheelbase or payload requirement;
• A damaged cab needs replacing after a rollover or front-end impact while retaining the original chassis;
• An existing body or bed has reached the end of its economic life but the chassis still has useful service left.

How to choose the correct cab shell or body

To reduce fitting work and avoid costly mistakes, please check the following details before ordering:

• Truck brand, model and generation – for example DAF XF106, MAN TGX Euro 6, Mercedes Actros MP4, Volvo FH4;
• Cab type – day, sleeper, high-roof, low-roof or special versions;
• Axle configuration and wheelbase – 4x2, 6x2, 6x4, 8x4 and the relevant wheelbase code;
• Body type and length – box, curtain-sider, dropside, platform, flatbed, tipper or specialist body, with overall length and internal height;
• Mounting and suspension points – body brackets, crossmembers, rear overhang and cab suspension layout;
• OEM part numbers and body builder plates on your existing cab or body, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of your current cab, body and chassis. Our team can help confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part, Compatibility & VIN Policy and Fitting & Programming Advice.

Used OEM cabs and bodies from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts taken from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that cab shells, bodies and bed assemblies can be assessed. During dismantling, our technicians remove the assemblies, check key structural areas for damage or excessive corrosion, and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable cabs and bodies are cleaned externally, labelled and stored under cover in our yard and warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.

Delivery, payment & returns

Most cab shells and body assemblies need pallet or freight shipping. For details of available services, transit times and costs, please see our Delivery & Shipping page.

Information about payment methods, VAT handling and returns is available on Payment & VAT and Returns & Refunds. If you need to combine a cab, body or bed with other exterior, frame or suspension components for the same vehicle, our team will be happy to help you build a complete order.
