ABSTRACT:
A bus body and body-to-chassis frame mounting structure is provided wherein the body is vibration isolation supported from the chassis frame and includes a flooring assembly spaced no more than 3" above the chassis frame, and further wherein the flooring assembly has the lower ends of the legs of top bows of the body anchored relative thereto through the utilization of sill panel structure providing not only an inwardly opening channel for receiving the opposite side marginal edge portions of the flooring assembly, outer side seat mounts and body side reenforcement against lateral impact, but which also facilitates multi-area rigid interconnection between the flooring assembly, the top bows and the outer side panels of the bus body. Further, the mounting structure utilized to mount the bus body from the associated chassis frame accomplishes the mounting function through the utilization of simple conventional body-to-frame mounting structure.
