ABSTRACT:
The present invention teaches a novel manner of mounting a fairing panel which covers the area beneath the sleeper box of a truck so that the fairing panel experiences minimal impact and stress from surrounding cab skirt fairing panels and other truck chassis components. The distal region of the panel is fixedly secured by a bolt and nut rigid assembly connected to the sleeper steps, the sleeper steps, in turn, are fixedly secured by a bolt and nut rigid assembly to the bottom of the sleeper box assembly. The proximate region of the panel is secured by a pair of flexible assemblies each comprising a bolt, a flexible spacer, and a nut. The two flexible assemblies serve to isolate other regions of the truck from the motion of the mounted fairing panel by absorbing the variety of forces imposed upon the mounting fairing panel. In addition, the two flexible assemblies serve to isolate the panel from the motion of truck chassis components.
