Begin with the body and operating load
Send body length, installed weight, tools, materials, passengers and any trailer information. Identify storage access, working height and equipment location. Ask the body supplier which cab-to-axle dimension, wheelbase and chassis configuration the installation needs.
Separate the chassis quote, body quote, installation responsibility and completion timeline. A chassis that is available for purchase may still need substantial work before it is ready for your business.
3500, 4500 and 5500: select by completed requirements
3500 Chassis Cab
Begin here when a compatible configuration can meet the finished body and load requirements. Do not use 3500 pickup specifications for the chassis-cab decision.
4500 Chassis Cab
Compare this family when the body, axle and operating requirements call for a different configuration. Match the exact chassis to the body supplier’s specifications.
5500 Chassis Cab
Consider the complete job, including equipment, load distribution and applicable ratings. A larger model number does not remove the need to verify the completed vehicle.
Powertrain, PTO and electrical planning
RAM’s 2026 and 2027 chassis-cab materials list gas 6.4L HEMI and available 6.7L Cummins diesel choices. Confirm the exact year, chassis, transmission and ordering combination. Have the upfitter verify PTO and electrical compatibility rather than assuming an available feature is installed.
Ask who supplies completed-vehicle labels, operating instructions and body or equipment warranty documentation. Keep chassis maintenance and installed-equipment maintenance in the handoff plan. The ownership-cost checklist below helps organize purchase and operating assumptions.
Keep 2026 and 2027 comparisons accurate
Use separate window stickers and configuration documents for different model years. This guide identifies 2026 equipment where stated; it does not assume that every 2027 version has the same features, ratings or order availability. Ask for current factory information tied to the exact VIN or accepted order.
Start the conversation from Paris, Brookston or the US 82 corridor with two or three listings. Confirm the vehicle’s physical location and viewing arrangements. Bring your load measurements or passenger requirements so the trip to Bonham produces a useful comparison.

One dealership location
Plan the visit from Paris
From Paris, US 82 west is the main corridor toward Bonham, passing the Honey Grove, Windom and Dodd City area. Set your final destination to 2122 N Center St, Bonham, TX 75418. Confirm current navigation before leaving; the best approach depends on your starting point and current road conditions.
Confirm the selected vehicle, appointment and viewing arrangements first. Bring the people, measurements or load information that will make the comparison useful.
Ownership-cost checklist
Compare both trucks over the same ownership period. Record the written purchase total, annual miles, expected fuel price and your realistic fuel-economy assumption. List maintenance, tires, insurance and registration separately. For a work body, include its installed cost and maintenance. Use a separate estimate for resale value and mark it as uncertain. Avoid counting loan principal twice if the purchase price is already included; list financing interest separately. This is a planning comparison, not a quote or a promise about future costs.

Questions before your next step
Is a 3500 Chassis Cab the same as a 3500 pickup?
No. The chassis cab is intended for a compatible body installation and has different specifications and completion requirements.
Can Bonham confirm an upfit before I buy?
Provide the proposed body and equipment specifications. Ask the team to coordinate the chassis requirements and confirm responsibilities with the body supplier before purchase.
Does the chassis price include the body?
Do not assume it does. Request separate written details for the chassis, body, installation, selected equipment and completion timeline.
Can I get a written quote before traveling from Paris?
Yes. Send candidate VINs, must-have equipment and your registration ZIP code. Request an itemized quote and confirm availability before traveling.
