Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. General Knapheide 696F40 (Flip Top) or equal. White (paint) in color. 2. Pick-Up Bed Truck will come equipped with standard 8’ pick-up bed. The bid shall include the dollar amount allowed for trade in price for standard bed, (note $00.00 if no trade in allowed for bed.) The tail gate camera shall be removed and installed below the tail gate on the service body. 3. Body Shell The body shell is to be constructed of 14-gauge two-sided A40 Galvanneal steel. The compartment tops and backs are to be a one-piece seamless design. All doors, door openings, drip rails, and other exposed steel edges are to be hemmed for strength, safety, and resistance to corrosion. 4. Floor The floor plate is to be constructed of a minimum of 12-gauge tread plate with a 1 3/8” return flange on each side. The side compartment back panel should overlap and interlock with the floor flange, providing support for the weight of the side compartment. 5. Tailgate The tailgate is to be constructed of 14-gauge, two-sided A40 Galvanneal steel. The tailgate is to be a minimum of 12” high and be a slammable type. In the open position, the tailgate shall be level with the cargo floor. The tailgate shall not have any cables, chains, or bars to support it in the open position so it can be used as a work surface for objects wider than the tailgate. 6. Doors The doors are to be constructed of 20-gauge two-sided A40 Galvanneal steel. The doors are to be double paneled with internal reinforcements for durability. 7. Hinges Corrosion resistant all stainless-steel continuous hinges are to be installed to provide full length support for the doors and pry-proof security with a built-in weather shield. Hinges are to be spot welded to the door frames and must be supported with a six year warranty. 8. Rotary Latches Corrosion resistant rotary latches shall be secured to the door panels by four threaded studs attached to the back of the latches. The latch must also have an internal cover to protect it from the contents of the compartment. The rotary latches are to be slam latchable. The latching cam is to be elongated to allow the latch to move vertically relative to the lock strike to prevent torsional damage. A microcellular urethane foam gasket is to be installed between the latch flange and the outer door skin to prevent moisture from entering the compartment behind the latch. 9. Door Strikers Adjustable strikers are to be affixed to the door frames with screws. (Welded on door strikers are not acceptable.) 10. Door Seals Automotive “bulb type” neoprene door seals are to be installed by the manufacturer of the body on all door frames.
