ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention a pin connection is applied between the side rail and the vertical post to reduce or eliminate the large lading load moment. In one embodiment the pin connection may comprise a first plate integrally connected by welding or rugged mechanical fasteners to the side rail at one end. A second plate is integrally connected by welding or rugged mechanical fasteners to the vertical post. The first and second plates are transversely spaced and abut. Rugged transversely extending mechanical fasteners, such as a shoulder bolt, extend between the plates. The fastening means can be tightened to a desired torque, of for example 50 to 100 foot pounds. The fastening means are provided to reduce or eliminate the lading load moment. The roof load applied to the corner posts is taken in transversely extending end and front skirts, which also support the truck body.
