Morgan Truck Body, which makes light- and medium-duty truck and van bodies, reached an agreement with General Motors Fleet to increase the number of bailment pool locations. This will allow Morgan to more swiftly meet growing demands for upfitted Chevrolet Low Cab Forwards, the new Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD/5500HD/6500HD, as well as the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savanna.
Currently, Morgan upfits bodies on GM chassis at two plant locations: Riverside, Calif., (since 2006) and Denver, Pa., (since 2013). The newest Morgan plant to order these chassis cabs is in Portland, Ore., with additional pools opening this year in Corsicana, Texas (June); Rydal, Ga.; and Janesville, Wis. (August).
