ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body positionable on spaced chassis members through Z-shaped bars attached to the chassis members and laterally extending floor members in turn attached to the Z-shaped bars. The laterally extending floor members define a floor assembly and are arranged in interlocking engagement with side rails extending along either side of the floor assembly. The side rails includes flanges into which the floor members extend. Outwardly extending flanges on the floor members support columnar rib members which extend upwardly to define the structural walls of the body. Crown members abut against the upper ends of the rib members as well as similarly constructed roof members extending laterally across the body. Frame clips having a base and spaced upstanding attachment legs are employed to affix the rib members and roof members to the aforementioned structural elements. Rivet fasteners are contemplated as well as bolts and welds in appropriate locations.
