Two Texarkana builders. One finished truck.
Ledwell mounts bodies on Ford, Freightliner, International, Kenworth and Peterbilt chassis. Artex is the International® source — and the dealer that sells, finances and services the finished truck.
Both companies are in Texarkana.
Artex Truck Center01Chassis
An International MV™ or HV™ series chassis spec'd for the body it's going to carry — wheelbase, frame, PTO and GVWR matched to the job.
Ledwell02Body
Built in Texarkana, Texas from American steel. Ledwell mounts, plumbs, wires and tests the body on the chassis.
Artex03Delivery
One purchase, one point of contact. International financing options on the finished truck, and 21 service bays behind it.

The HydraTilt Truck
Artex provides the International® HV™ chassis, and Ledwell completes the build with its patented HydraTilt bed — a practical solution for moving both powered equipment and non-powered loads. The hydraulic tail unfolds and lowers to ground level for direct drive-on loading, with no separate ramps required. For containers and other non-powered loads, the integrated winch brings cargo onto the deck.
