Abstract
A dump body for a vehicle has a floor slab with a front panel located proximate the front end of the floor slab. A pair of side panels extending upwardly from opposed sides of the floor slab are structurally connected thereto and to the front panel. A plurality of spaced trusses are welded to the under surface of the floor slab. A hinge at the rear of the dump body permits tipping of the dump body relative to the frame members of the vehicle by a hoist. The floor slab and trusses are made of steel and the side and front panels are made from aluminium.
