Abstract:

A front end mount for a service body to a cab chassis of a truck comprising a first crossmember fixedly fastened to the forward portion of the floor of the service body and extending along the width of the floor and a second crossmember fixedly fastened to the frame at a location corresponding to the location of the first crossmember. The first crossmember is received by the second crossmember such that the vertical movement of said first crossmember is restricted by the shape of the second crossmember. The second crossmember has two parallel sections which define the line of travel of the first crossmember relative to the second crossmember. The second crossmember has a section extending horizontally inward from the end of one of the parallel sections opposite the frame. First and second stops are affixed to the first crossmember generally about the ends of the second crossmember so as to restrict the lateral travel of the second crossmember relative to the first crossmember.
