ABSTRACT:
A splice joint for connecting a pair of open channel side rail sections in a vehicular body and frame assembly focuses stresses imposed thereon away from the longitudinal edges of the structural members. In a first aspect of this invention, one or both end portions of the side rail sections are formed having an offset. The end portions of the side rail sections overlap one another and are secured together in any conventional manner, such as by welding. Preferably, the welds are made in such a manner that they terminate prior to reaching any of the longitudinally extending edges of the side rail sections. In a second aspect of this invention, the portions of the side rail sections are butt welded together. A support bracket is secured to the side rail sections in any conventional manner, such as by welding. Again, the welds are preferably made in such a manner as to terminate prior to reaching any of the longitudinally extending edges of the side rail sections.
