ABSTRACT An adaptable material-spreading vehicle includes in combination a truck body frame, a rear-mounted engine on the frame above the rear wheels, a forward cab, a removable hopper positioned between the cab and the rear-mounted engine, and a conveyor running from beneath the hopper directly through the cab to a material spreader mounted forward of the cab in view of the operator, with the hopper and conveyor being removably mounted to the truck frame, such that the material spreader vehicle can be converted to some other use. In one embodiment, the cab is provided with a central channel through the floor to accommodate the section of the conveyor passing through the cab, with the cab being provided with sealable conveyor ports aligned fore and aft through which the cab-carried conveyor section is passed. In a preferred embodiment, the conveyor runs the entire length of the bottom of the hopper trough such that material is initially removed from the rear of the hopper, thereby providing that the majority of the weight of the dispensed material is as far forward as possible.
