BODY MOUNTINGS
When mounting bodies on frames, always place
tight-fitting spacer blocks inside the frame channels at
points where the U-bolts are to be installed. These filler
blocks will support the frame flanges and prevent
bending by the U-bolt.
The filler blocks should be so constructed that they
will be form fitting in the channel and so constructed that
the body U-bolt will rest in a recess in the block to
prevent its loss should the bolt become loose. Fig. 47
illustrates the construction of such a block.
