ABSTRACT:
Framing apparatus for the assembly of the body parts of a truck cab including a bottom panel, a back panel, and right and left side panels. A framing station has a base adapted to support the bottom panel. Side framers on opposite sides of the base are adapted to support the right and left side panels. The side framers are moved to positions adjacent to the base in which the lower edge portions of the side panels contact the side edge portions of the bottom panel so that they can be connected together. A rear framer is adapted to support the rear panel at the rear of the base. The rear framer is moved to a position adjacent to the base in which the lower edge portion of the rear panel contacts the rear edge portion of the bottom panel so that they can be connected together and the side edge portions of the rear panel contact the rear edge portions of the side panels so that they can be connected together. The several body parts are then permanently connected together utilizing suitable tooling.
