Abstract
The present invention provides a steering support frame composed of a deck cross member and fastening brackets attached to right and left ends of the deck cross member, and structured by fastening the fastening brackets to respective fitting parts provided in right and left vehicle body frames so as to bridge the deck cross member between the right and left vehicle body frames. To connect the deck cross member and the fastening brackets, one of the ends of the deck cross member is welded to both of a body plate and a surface contact plate of the fastening bracket on a driver seat side, and the other end of the deck cross member is welded only to a body plate of the fastening bracket on a passenger seat side, whereby the deck cross member has a strength difference between the driver seat and passenger seat sides.
