Upfitters, body builders & distributors
How can a truck equipment distributor or upfitter add a locking fuel door to chassis builds?
By The Work Truck Fuel Vault, Sarasota, Florida · Updated October 2026
Short answer
Add it as a bolt-on accessory line item at upfit or delivery. The Work Truck Fuel Vault installs in 8–15 minutes with hand tools, requires no drilling or cutting into the body, and gives fleet customers fuel security on day one. Dealer and distributor pricing is available.
Adding it to your build sheet
- 1Map part numbers to your common chassis and body combinations.
- 2Quote it as an option on fleet bids and stock units.
- 3Install at the end of upfit or at PDI.
- 4Apply through the partner program for wholesale pricing.
Why customers ask for it
Fleet buyers increasingly ask for fuel theft protection on new units. A factory-fresh truck with an exposed cap is an easy target on its first night at a job site.
