ABSTRACT:
A utility body for mounting to a frame of a vehicle includes a metallic support frame for securing to the vehicle frame. A metallic bed deck is mounted on the support frame. A first plastic side wall cabinet is mounted to the support frame on a first side of the bed deck. A second plastic side wall cabinet is mounted to the support frame on a second side of the bed deck. The first and second side wall cabinets each include a storage compartment. Each side wall cabinet has a front portion, a mid-portion and a rear portion. The front and rear portions of the side wall cabinets are slidably secured to the support frame, thereby allowing movement of the side wall cabinets relative to the support frame due to expansion and contraction of the plastic side wall cabinets.
