I have heard a lot of good things about SouthCo. I believe their web site is www.southcoindustries.com

Or if you're handy with a welder you could custom build yer own for ALOT less!

I have seen a few really nice ones that were constructed from plywood and reinforced with angle iron. Although with the price of plywood, buying a prefabricated model might be cheaper.

Here is a nice one by Eloquip. My 1 ton has an aluminum body that was built by a welding shop here. Chip box and toolboxes cost me $8500 mounted. It is 3 years old and still looks like new. A steel body usually needs to be replaced after about 7 years in Hawaii.
