A curtainsided van body has at least one open vertical side closable by a curtain incorporating straps or similar for constraining the curtain in a vertical plane. The straps or similar have at or adjacent their lower ends rave-engaging hooks. The van body has a floor for supporting cargo and a rave along said at least one open vertical side and engagable by said hooks to constrain the curtain vertically. The rave is height adjustable relative to the floor to provide a sill level with the floor to accommodate cargo extending to the floor edge, or above the floor to provide a bottom restraint for cargo. The rave may be unitary or comprise relatively adjustable inner and outer rave members.
