| In 1979, brothers Gary, James and Mike Scelzi began manufacturing their line of flatbeds out of their companys 4,500 square foot facility in Fresno, California. They added truck service bodies and crane bodies to their line in 1990. Today, Scelzi Enterprises is the Valleys largest manufacturer and supplier of truck bodies and parts. The operation now includes a 87,000 square foot facility on six acres in Fresno. Scelzi Enterprises creates custom truck bodies for a wide range of customers, from single vehicles for individuals to entire fleets for some of Californias largest companies and utilities. The companys success is attributed to a fanatical commitment to quality in every detail of production. |
To ensure this quality, every step of the manufacturing
process happens under Scelzis roof - starting with raw sheet metal
and ending with finished truck bodies fitted and color-matched perfectly
to host cabs and chassis. |

| Once assembled, each body is carefully caulked by
handinside and outto prevent leaks, rust and corrosion. Truck
bodies begin as raw sheet metal, which is sheared and bent on-site. Each
bend is controlled by computer and checked by the press brake operator
and Scelzis quality control inspectors. Scelzi uses a modular wiring harness structure which includes
convenient lamp plug-ins and protective plastic wire loom. The entire
unit is snaked through steel tubes which are welded permanently to the
undercarriage - a wiring system far superior to those supported only by
temporary clips or glue-on tabs. |
A Scelzi trademark, undercarriages for flatbed and utility bodies are supported by more steel crossbeams than those of most other truck body manufacturers. Even the host truck cab is sprayed with a protective coating which is washed off after final inspection. This coating ensures that the original cab paint is uncompromised in the production environment. Scelzis painting operation includes
two oversized paint booths, side-draft heating and circulation, baking
capabilities and exact color-match paint tinting technology. Scelzis
skilled painters use only the highest grade urethane finish paints to
ensure that every paint job protects the body, enhances the appearance
and matches the original host cab. |
