This 2002 Chevrolet Kodiak C8500 is a used flatbed truck — sometimes referred to as a flat-deck or platform truck — offered for sale in Alabama, USA at $39,500. Flatbed trucks are workhorses of freight, construction, and heavy-haul operations, designed to carry oversized, heavy, or awkwardly shaped loads that enclosed trailers cannot accommodate. Chevrolet is a long-established American manufacturer whose commercial truck line has served industries ranging from construction and logistics to agriculture and municipal work for decades.
The truck is equipped with a 21-foot by 96-inch flatbed and a Moffett piggyback kit, meaning it is set up to carry a forklift mounted to the rear of the body — a practical configuration for self-unloading deliveries at sites without loading dock access. The recorded odometer reads 207,109 miles, and the unit carries a gross vehicle weight rating of 52,080 pounds.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3126 turbocharged diesel engine producing 300 horsepower. Notably, this is a pre-emission engine, which some operators prefer for its relative mechanical simplicity and ease of maintenance in markets where older emissions standards apply. Drive is handled by a Fuller 8LL transmission, an eight-speed with a low-low auxiliary range that gives the driver a wide spread of gear ratios well suited to heavy hauling. The rear axle runs a 4.11 ratio, and the wheelbase measures 238 inches, reflecting the long-frame configuration needed to support the flatbed body.
The chassis rides on a Hendrickson suspension system and is fitted with air brakes. A differential lock adds traction capability on loose or uneven ground. Additional equipment includes power steering, air conditioning, a toolbox, winches, and straps for load securement. This truck is sold as-is.
