Why Norstar?

Norstar Truck Bodies has been manufacturing work truck beds in Clarksville, Texas since 1988. They've spent decades building beds specifically for the way Texans actually use their trucks, which means their designs reflect the real demands of oilfield work, ranching, agriculture, and heavy contracting that defines West Texas industry.

Norstar beds are known for three things above anything else:

Heavy-gauge steel construction that holds up to repeated hard use without flexing, cracking, or rusting prematurely
Thoughtful feature integration: headache racks, toolboxes, stake pockets, and gooseneck hitch prep built into the bed rather than bolted on as afterthoughts
Texas manufacturing: Norstar is built in-state, which means shorter lead times, better dealer support, and a product that reflects how Texas trucks are actually used

If you've ever put a Norstar bed next to a factory pickup bed, the difference in build quality is immediately obvious. The steel is heavier, the welds are cleaner, and the hardware is built to survive the kind of daily abuse that work trucks in the Permian Basin take.

Norstar Truck Bed Models

Norstar SP Series: The Permian Basin Workhorse

The SP Series is Norstar's flagship flatbed and one of the most popular truck beds in West Texas. Built for ranching, oilfield, and heavy hauling, the SP features:

Heavy-duty steel frame with a smooth steel floor
Integrated headache rack with pipe rail options for securing loads
Stake pocket holes along the sides for versatile tie-down configurations
Gooseneck hitch prep in the floor, ready for a ball or coupler without cutting through the bed
Available in multiple lengths to fit short-bed and long-bed truck platforms

The SP Series is the bed you see on trucks that actually work for a living. If you're hauling pipe, moving cattle panels, towing equipment, or doing oilfield runs, the SP does it better than any factory bed on the market.

Norstar SR Series: Service Body Functionality

The SR Series is Norstar's service body option, designed for tradespeople, maintenance crews, and service operations that need organized tool storage and a professional appearance. Key features include:

Integrated steel side compartments with locking doors
Multiple compartment configurations to organize tools, parts, and equipment
Smooth steel exterior with clean welds and a professional look
Mounting provisions for ladder racks, pipe vises, and other job-site equipment
Available in sizes to fit standard pickup and cab-chassis platforms

If your truck is your office and your toolroom at the same time, the SR Series keeps everything where you need it and protects your investment in tools and equipment.

Norstar CM Series: The Premium Build

The CM Series is Norstar's premium flatbed offering, featuring enhanced construction and a more refined finish for buyers who want the best. It carries all the core SP features with upgrades including:

Taller, more substantial headache rack with reinforced cab protection
Deeper toolbox integration with larger storage capacity
Enhanced gooseneck prep with a cleaner floor profile
Premium powder coat finish for long-term corrosion resistance

The CM Series is popular with buyers who run high-value equipment, want a more polished appearance for client-facing work, or simply want a bed that will look as good in ten years as it does today.

Norstar Beds: What Fits Your Truck?

Norstar builds beds to fit Ford, Chevrolet, RAM, and GMC pickup trucks, as well as cab-chassis platforms from each manufacturer. The right fit depends on your truck's cab configuration (regular, extended, or crew cab), bed length preference, and rear axle setup (SRW or DRW for heavier-duty applications).

When you visit Trailer King, bring your truck and we'll confirm the correct fit before anything is ordered or installed. Getting the mounting configuration right at the start saves time and money downstream.

Professional Norstar Installation at Trailer King

Buying a Norstar bed from Trailer King means getting it installed by a team that knows what they're doing. Our installation process:

Removes your factory bed cleanly, preserving the frame and wiring where possible
Inspects frame rails and mounting points before the Norstar goes on
Mounts the bed to Norstar's specifications with proper torque on all fasteners
Connects integrated lighting and any gooseneck hitch prep wiring
Does a full walkthrough with you before you drive out

A Norstar bed installed correctly will outlast the truck it's on. A Norstar bed installed wrong will rattle, shift, and corrode, so we don't cut corners on the installation side.

In-Stock Inventory: No Long Waits

One of the most common complaints we hear from truck owners who've shopped elsewhere is the wait: six, eight, sometimes ten weeks for a custom order. At Trailer King, we maintain in-stock Norstar inventory in Odessa so that customers near Midland and across the Permian Basin can come in, see the bed, confirm the fit, and take delivery on a realistic timeline.

If you have a specific model, length, or color in mind that we don't have on the lot, we'll tell you upfront what the lead time looks like, no surprises.
