Founded in 1949, Paramount Truck Body , was driven by the post-World War II demand for commercial/civilian trucks and vocational truck bodies in Southern California. With an early entrepreneurial attitude of "We will build anything for a sale," a rich experience of variety and a strong structural integrity was established with the "Paramount Body."

Original Paramount Truck Body products included: galvanized van bodies, packaged dairy product delivery bodies, furniture moving bodies, cattle & agricultural product bodies, grocery delivery bodies and plumbers' utility bodies.

With the tremendous and unprecedented road construction and home building in the late 1950's & early 1960's, Paramount Truck Body started specializing in the heavy truck market. Special heavy duty flat bed bodies specifically designed to carry & haul steel and wood products to the construction site were pioneered by Paramount.

Dump truck bodies & dump truck hoists then followed and started the reputation that follows the Paramount name today. Paramount also introduced the twin telescopic & front mount telescopic from Johnson Hydraulic Mfg. Company to the West Coast. Paramount then established itself as the largest distributor & installer of the "Euclid Dump Body" in the 1960's & 1970's.

Scelzi Equipment, Inc. today manufactures over 300 dump bodies per year and over 300 flat / stake bed bodies per year, all built to the customers' unique and different style requests.

Balancing Paramount's dump truck body market offerings is a 50 year history of flat bed & stake body manufacturing. A strict adherence to structural construction practices makes the Paramount Flat & Stake Body the first choice for those who want longevity and durability value. Again, Paramount's response to "customer specified options" is key to Paramount's continued growth and success.

Currently operating with 60+ dedicated and highly skilled employees, Scelzi Equipment, Inc. in Azusa, California invites you to enlist them for all your dump truck bodies and flat/stake bed bodies.
