they sure are handy i am putting 2x8's on my tail gate its about shot the plywood is real weak with the 2x's you can sit a engine block on it on not hurt it plus be much better to mount the vise on there.

I like the concept of a contact maintenance truck, but I wouldn't get one, only because I see more general utility of a regular pickup bed, like a M880 or M1008. I would, however, have a tag-along trailer like a M116 pioneer tool setup to haul all the gear and genset that the -1031 would normally have. That way, if I need a pickup, I just take the truck. If I need the tools, I hookup and pull the trailer.
Except if you're at Haspin and someone gets their exhaust tied up beneath their truck (like a wedgie gone real bad) then you don't have to be concerned with connecting a trailer in the pouring rain and mud.
I do however, want a pioneer tool trailer (long bed) to tow behind my contact maintenance truck. Can't have too many tools.

Here's my ex Alaska NG SECM nursing up to the Case track hoe for a little TLC.
To me, the M1031 with the aluminum box, PTO generator and Miller XMT300 CC/CV welder is a dream rig which will still be useful long after the 1008's are done and gone.

Heck, Docfarmall bought my SECM trailer to put behind his M1031 SECM. Guess you can't have too many tools.
