Truck Beds For Sale near Dubuque and Davenport, IA

Whether you want to replace an old, damaged truck bed or swap out a factory-installed bed, you’ll want to make sure that you’re buying the right truck bed for your hauling needs. Truck beds come in many different styles, which makes it something of a challenge to find what you’re after.

Avalon Service Center is proud to be your go-to truck bed dealer. Because of our experience in truck bed sales, we’ve provided you with a little more information below to help you choose the right truck bed for your needs.
 

First, think about what type of material you’d like the truck bed to be manufactured out of. Truck beds are made of either steel or aluminum, and each type of metal has its benefits. 

Steel trucks are extremely durable and resist damage well, but they’re also more likely to rust due to their iron content. A steel bed is also going to be about 40% heavier than an aluminum bed, which may not work for all trucks.

Aluminum truck beds are light in weight and corrosion-resistant. Aluminum alloys are resilient and strong without being heavy, although they are more likely to become damaged or dented. However, they’re also much easier to repair.
 

Your next order of business is to decide whether you’d like your truck bed to be new or used. Buying new means that you get a pristine bed that no one else has ever had on their truck, and it’s probably the only way you’ll get one made from aluminum since it’s much more difficult to remove an aluminum truck bed without damaging it. On the other hand, buying used will save you a fair bit of money; you’ll just want to make sure you fully examine any used truck bed you want to buy for signs of disrepair.
 

You may want to invest in a bed liner to protect your truck bed from stains and damage due to dirt, oil, or sharp edges on your cargo. Even just a piece of plywood can save your truck bed from damage and lengthen its life. Tonneau covers keep the bed clean and dry when it’s not being used so that it’s less likely to rust or get dirty.
