Abstract
A riveted sidewall structure for a trailer body comprising a pair of upstanding side plate members and upstanding post members covering adjacent edges of the plate member. Rivets extend through aligned apertures in the plate members and the post member. The rivets have conical heads with an included angle for swaging the wall of the hole in the member through which the head extends for ensuring complete filling of the hole substantially at the sheer plane between the members.
