Sheet & Post vs. Fiberglass Reinforced Construction 101
When choosing the right truck body construction for your fleet, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of each option. Two of the most common methods — Sheet and Post and Fiberglass Reinforced Composite (FRC) — offer very different benefits depending on your needs.
Sheet and Post Construction
Sheet and post bodies are built with vertical metal posts (usually steel or aluminum) and exterior sheet panels. This traditional design provides strong structural support and is easy to customize for shelving, doors, or special configurations.
Key Advantages:
Cost-effective upfront
Easier to repair with replaceable panels
Durable and reliable for tough jobs
Fiberglass Reinforced Composite (FRC) Construction
FRC truck bodies are made from seamless, molded composite panels reinforced with fiberglass. These bodies are lightweight and resistant to rust, offering a clean exterior that’s ideal for branding and signage.
Key Advantages:
Lightweight design improves fuel efficiency
Smooth, professional appearance
Resists rust and corrosion
Which Construction Type is Right for You?
If you’re looking for a tough, affordable solution that’s easy to repair, sheet and post may be the better fit. If you need a lighter, cleaner look with lower long-term maintenance — especially in environments prone to moisture — FRC might be worth the investment.
