ABSTRACT:
A metal trailer interlocking panel attached to a trailer frame used in the construction of an enclosed or paneled trailer, preferably in a horizontal and stacked orientation, includes an upper groove assembly and a conforming and interlocking lower groove assembly, an inner surface welded to a vertical trailer frame member and an outer surface having a lower slot member and an upper slot member forming a sliding channel within which is slid a horizontal outer panel insert riveted to the panel. In the event the panel insert is damaged by hail, road debris, branches or other accidental means, or a simple change in aesthetics or display medium is desired, the panel insert may be exchanged without requiring replacement ofthe panel. The panel insert may also have an ornamental design or graphic applied to an outer surface, which enables the trailer owner to apply a variety of panel inserts and exchange graphics without having to repaint the entire trailer, and also to allow for change of information which may be applied to the panel inserts for advertising or other textual information.
