ABSTRACT:
A cargo floor construction and method of constructing same that includes a multiplicity of mounting clips that are secured to the cargo vehicle support members in laterally spaced and longitudinally aligned rows. The mounting clips are provided with a shape for mating and interlocking with the lateral edges of longitudinally extending floor planks that preferably are extruded with the mating edge shapes. Fasteners are used to secure the mounting clips to the vehicle support members but those fasteners do not pierce the floor planks. In some embodiments of the interlocking mounting clips and floor plank edges, the floor plank is elastically deformed to engage or snap onto the mounting clip to prevent lateral movement of the floor plank in either direction.
