Design
Each Wil-Ro truck body begins with understanding the problem you need solved. From there, your solution is custom-designed using the latest drafting and modeling software. At every step of the process, Nathan and his team account for your unique needs, which are included in the comprehensive design.
“Using information from our sales team on our customers’ needs, specifications, and industry segments, I utilize CAD design tools to create and visualize the product to ensure our fabricators have accurate information before production begins. Our approach delivers high-quality truck beds that will outperform and outlast any competitor.”

Metal Cutting + Forming
The truck body begins to take shape in cutting and forming, where raw material takes form and awakens. Every piece of the truck bed is cut at the plasma table, and all necessary bends are put in place with press brakes. With all the pieces cut and formed, they head to welding and fabrication.
“As the Plasma Table Technician, I play a crucial role in supplying the factory with the initial parts needed to build truck bodies. By ensuring that high-quality materials are provided to our welders and fabricators, I can be confident in the overall quality of our products. I also appreciate the autonomy I have to make improvements that positively impact the entire company. It feels like I’m running my own small business, contributing to the success of the whole operation.”
Isaac | Plasma Table Technician
Welding & Fabrication
Individual pieces of metal head to welding and fabrication where Wil-Ro’s skillful team brings our truck bodies to life. Fabricating the premier truck body product on the market is in our DNA. Only the most durable and high-quality materials are used to craft every Wil-Ro bed, giving you a product that will last for years to come.
“What begins as raw sheets of metal soon takes shape in our hands. Piece by piece, we fit the parts together, welding with care and intention until a truck bed starts to emerge. This stage is always inspiring—the moment when simple materials transform into something built to last. For our team, it’s more than fabrication; it’s pride, passion, and the art of craftsmanship coming to life.”

Painting + Product Finishing
Our paint process isn’t just about appearance—it’s about protection. Each coat is applied with durability in mind, ensuring your truck body can withstand the toughest jobs and harshest weather. We make sure every truck body leaves our facility ready to install, with pinstriping, latches, trim, and prewiring for lights and harness packages already complete.
At Wil-Ro, we handle the details so you don’t have to. Our factory-trained experts provide service and support at your location or ours, giving you confidence every step of the way. Partner with our skilled team and see what sets the Wil-Ro brand apart.
“As Materials Coordinator, I ensure that all parts and materials are sourced accurately and organized efficiently. I take pride in maintaining a smooth workflow, knowing that timely and precise materials management is crucial for our team’s success. I’m committed to making sure everything is in place and ready, so production runs seamlessly.”

UPFIT / Installation
Once the truck body is fully assembled, it is now ready to be installed on any model, brand, truck or chassis. Wiring is secured in place using custom-made harnesses. During installation, each bed receives a final quality check from one of Wil-Ro’s highly experienced installers. With over 50 years of expertise between our lead installers, you won’t find a more knowledgeable and passionate team than that of Wil-Ro, Inc.
“Our team takes care of all the essential accessories and prepares each truck body for chassis installation and delivery. We ensure that every part is installed correctly and to the highest standards. I take personal pride in our work and wouldn’t send out a truck body that I wouldn’t purchase myself, so it’s crucial to me that every unit is fully ready for delivery and immediate use”
Randy | Install Technician
