Summary:
Command Access Vehicle body is an independently fabricated structure mounted to a
chassis selected by the City. This new piece of equipment will allow staff to work efficiently on
scene, centralize communication, provide scene lighting, and enhance coordination. The
chassis selected is a 2026 Ford F-350 4X4 Crew Cab purchased from Sutton Ford under an
awarded contract through the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative. The Command Access
Vehicle body was quoted separately from the chassis in order to avoid any additional cost

markup by the chassis vendor. Once Ford has manufactured the chassis, it will be shipped
directly from Ford to Stonewell Bodies and Machine Co., Inc., where the Command Access
Vehicle body will be mounted and the chassis cab will be upfitted with all equipment and
lighting.
A dedicated, weather-protected command environment to ensure continuity of
operations in all conditions.
Adequate space for essential equipment and integrated wiring to support current and
future communications needs.
A modular design that allows the command body to be removed and reinstalled on a
new chassis at the end of this chassis’s service life. This extends the life of the
investment and positions us to adapt when the industry develops a heavy-duty electric
chassis capable of meeting our operational demands.

STONEWELL COMPANY HISTORY
Stonewell Bodies was founded in 1994 out of necessity to work smarter and not harder. The company
was started by a farrier looking to shoe his horses without the trouble of constantly loading and
unloading a pickup truck with all his tools of the trade. After carefully considering how to make a truck
body that would be light, provide protections from the elements, easy to organize and last for many
years, the Stonewell Body was created.
Today, Stonewell has grown to service three primary industries, all of which require a light weight and
efficient design. The primary industries serviced by Stonewell include Farriers and mobile veterinarians,
emergency services vehicles and the building trades. The common thread among these three industries
hinges on the need of efficient access to the truck body so they can access and depart the vehicle as
quickly as possible.
Stonewell now employs 37 craftsmen who are experts in the field of fabrication as well as having
significant application experience in the field of EMS and Farrier. Our team is comprised of farriers,
EMT’s, volunteer Fire Chiefs and assistant Chiefs. These craftspeople bring their passion and practical
experience with them as they work to build outstanding truck bodies.
Coupled with experts in fabrication, Stonewell has made significant investments in productions
capabilities. Our bodies and fabricated solutions are designed using the latest CAD, and modeling,
software coupled to fully CNC processing equipment. Our metal cutting is primarily achieved through a
new Mitsubishi Laser, HAAS milling machines or other very prices machine-tools. We have invested in
our infrastructure as well as equipment and are confident we can design, weld and manufacture to the
exacting specifications we develop.
Over the last several decades, Stonewell has evolved to be a market leader with a robust compliment of
tools needed to solve customer problems. We continually work to solve application problems and stand
behind the products that we produce. We look forward to the possibility of working with you and hope
you consider Stonewell Bodies for your next design need.
TERMS OF PAYMENT - DIVIDED IN ONE THIRD INCREMENTS
The terms of this purchase shall be 1/3rd of the body purchase price upon signing of the purchase
agreement and 1/3rd at the mid point of construction. The balance shall be paid upon completion of the
specified vehicle. If payment is not made and Stonewell must pursue legal remedies, all legal expenses

BODY AND COMPARTMENT SPECIFICATIONS
Stonewell Command Access Vehicle
(CAV)
Body Specification
CAV: 90"L x 76"W x CAB HEIGHT, FULL DOOR
The CAV body shall be suited to a Short Bed Pick Up Truck. The body shall incorporate Full Length Doors.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Stonewell Command Access Vehicle (CAV) is a multi-purpose aluminum truck body intended to
replace factory made pick up truck beds installed by manufacturers such as Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler.
Once a factory installed bed is removed, the CAV body will be mounted to the frame rails of the chassis
and a provide an enclosed structure to store, transport or secure items as needed.
The CAV body is manufactured from an aluminum sub-structure and frame that is skinned with aircraft
grade aluminum panels thus enclosing the structure. Three (3) main doors shall provide access to the
upper section (frame) of the CAV body, and depending on interior construction, shall provide visibility to
the entire above-frame compartment. The CAV is highly versatile in its intended application and with an
interior designed to address the specific needs of the user.
In emergency services applications, the CAV can be configured with NFPA-like lighting. Interior and
exterior lighting shall be added per customer specifications. Additionally, paint, graphics, lettering,
chevrons and striping can be added to support NFPA standards and customer needs.
FRAME CONSTRUCTION
The frame of the CAV shall be considered the body structure coming directly in contact with the vehicle
chassis though isolated via our mounting system. The frame structure shall be MIG welded and
comprised of extruded aluminum tubing made of 6061 x .125’’ material, hardened to T-6 specifications.
At no time shall the frame of the CAV come in direct contact with the chassis of the vehicle. The frame
shall be welded in a proprietary pattern to maximize strength and minimize body flexing. All tubing shall
be cut via CNC controlled saw to ensure precise tube section length. Welding of the tubes shall be done
in a rotary fixture to minimize tube warpage and ensure proper fit-up for welding. Butt-welding of tubes
will include end-chamfering of tube lengths to ensure weld penetration. Additionally, welds shall be no
