Meet Great Dane’s Sahara truck bodies. Send us the chassis, and we’ll build a durable, great-looking body that leaves a lasting impression.
Built for last mile delivery. Let’s get you on the road to more productivity.
Our innovative front wall design eliminates the need for a front scuff band, increasing cargo space and reducing cost.
Our Sahara line is equipped with a strong hardwood, for exceptional durability. An optional wax floor treatment can be added, for further protection against the harshest conditions, providing a virtually waterproof barrier.
Our EnduroGuard rear frame provides an effective barrier against corrosion, delivering enhanced durability and lasting appearance throughout the life of the truck body.
Our innovative body tie-down system offers secure mounting without U-bolts, offering significant maintenance cost savings and increased productivity.
Our Sahara line is available with multiple side door locations, providing your drivers with easy access to cargo, for increased productivity. Our unique blade lock exerts constant pressure along the full height of the door and the low-profile design eliminates hinges and lock rods from protruding, reducing the potential for damage.
The LED Exterior Light Package features Grote’s MicroNova® DOT lamps, dual-intensity ID cluster lights, and our Long Life Light System. Our sealed harness prevents moisture intrusion and allows for custom wiring. The exterior lights are recessed into the rear frame for additional damage protection

Read ArticleThe Sahara is a dry-freight truck body engineered for durability, uptime, and flexible operation. It’s available in two constructions to match different operational needs: the C-Series composite model and the S-Series sheet-and-post model.
Both models feature proven Great Dane engineering, configurable options, and durable construction designed for long-term performance.
C-Series (Composite)
S-Series (Sheet-and-Post)
The Sahara is used across a wide range of applications, including parcel delivery, food service, retail distribution, general freight, and regional delivery routes.
The Sahara is designed to integrate with a wide range of medium- and heavy-duty chassis, including common Class 6, 7, and 8 platforms. Final compatibility depends on body size, wheelbase, and application requirements. Your Great Dane representative can help confirm the right configuration for your specific chassis.
Yes. The Sahara can be configured to match your operation. When choosing a configuration, consider:
The Sahara uses Great Dane’s AnchorPoint mounting system, which eliminates traditional U-bolts and filler strips. This helps reduce constant re-torque requirements, prevent rot and compression issues, and support long-term durability.
Sahara truck bodies are available on buygreatdane.com and through the Great Dane dealer network.
