ABSTRACT:
An improved mounting for a cab to the frame of a vehicle wherein controls of the vehicle are resiliently mounted to the frame prior to the installation of the cab thereover. The cab includes a floor portion having openings adapted to permit the controls to extend upwardly therethrough. The cab may include additional portions mounted to the floor portion in the completed assembly of the vehicle with the additional portions defining enclosure portions for the controls. Upon installation of the cab, the controls may be rigidly secured thereto, permitting removal of the resilient mounting structure, as desired. The cab sections may be selectively installed so as to provide any one of a plurality of different cab arrangements. The temporary mounting of the controls by the resilient mounting structure permits the vehicle to be operated prior to the installation of the cab thereon for facilitated manufacture of the vehicle.
