Frame and Body Mounting



Frame and Body Mounting

The frame is comprised of:
- steel channel 2-piece rails
- riveted crossmembers (except for the transmission support crossmember)
- bolt-in rear crossmember (trailer hitch)
- bolt-in fifth wheel trailer hitch (optional)

The vehicle body sits on rubber body supports. Lower and upper body supports keep the vehicle body from sitting directly on the frame.

A kit is available to repair the subframe. Refer to Dimensions.

For diagonal or X-frame checking, refer to Dimensions. When welding is carried out on the vehicle, refer to Dimensions.
