7.4 Others
7.4.1 Rear end of chassis frame
As a result of Product Tolerance for vehicles without RUP, the width dimension of the assembly at the Rear End
of the Chassis Frame, may sometimes differ greatly from the dimension indicated in "10.4 Chassis cab
drawings". Refer to É 10.4.
If this constitutes an obstacle to body building, devise countermeasures to facilitate body building, such as the
installation of a cross member at the rear end of the chassis frame.
An example of a cross member is shown in the figure below.

7.4.2 Intermediate post
• On chassis mounted with a 5-way openable rear body, heavy object container or low rigidity body, install an
intermediate post at a position just before the rear front axle to prevent the body from drooping rearward or
to facilitate sideway swinging of a gate to open or close it during loading.
• When installing an intermediate post on a truck with a long wheelbase, taking the chassis frame deflection
during loading into consideration, provide an ample space between the post and the side gate so that trouble-
free side gate opening/closing operations may be assured.
