ABSTRACT:
An adjustable body sub-frame assembly that mounts on a truck chassis, and an adjustable body panel assembly that mounts on the body sub-frame assembly. The body sub-frame assembly includes left and right sub-frame rails that mount on respective truck chassis rails. Each sub-frame rail includes sub-frame brace tubes and body support brackets. The sub-frame brace tubes are fixed to the sub-frame rails extending laterally inward from the truck chassis rails, and the body support brackets are fixed to the sub-frame rails extending laterally outward from the truck chassis rails. The body subframe assembly further includes sub-frame brace sleeves that receive corresponding sub-frame brace tubes of the sub-frame rails. The sub-frame brace tubes can be welded at different positions within the sub-frame brace sleeves providing for adjustability in the width of the body sub-frame assembly. The body panel assembly includes left and right body panels. Each body panel includes mounting brackets fixed thereto extending laterally inward. Each mounting bracket of each body panel aligns with a corresponding body support bracket of the corresponding sub-frame rail. Each body panel mounts on the support brackets of the corresponding sub-frame rail in a plurality of lateral positions providing for adjustability in the width of the body panel assembly. The body panel assembly further includes length spacer panels cut to size to provide for adjustability in the length of the body panel assembly.
