ABSTRACT:
A van wall brace for reinforcing a truncated pillar of a van wall which has been cut in order to accommodate a retrofitted window. The van wall brace connects to the severed end of truncated pillar and is tied into adjacent intact pillars so as to lend structural integrity to the truncated pillar, thereby restoring strength to the van wall. The van wall brace is preferred to be formed of a single piece of heavy gauge sheet metal stock of elongate shape. Each end of the sheet metal stock is stamped with a predetermined reciprocal pillar contour or contours for engaging the intact pillars located on either side of the truncated pillar or pillars. The sheet steel stock is further stamped between the ends thereof so as to provide another predetermined reciprocal pillar contour or contours for engaging each truncated pillar or pillars. The stamping location of each reciprocal pillar contour is predetermined so that the completed van wall brace will engage each of the aforesaid pillars of the particular van that has been modified. Between each of the aforesaid reciprocal pillar contours the sheet metal stock is preferred to be stamped to include edge flanges, thereby providing high strength against bending. The van wall brace is secured to the aforesaid pillars either by a standard fastener or by welding.
