  • Patent number: 5131714
    Abstract: A general delivery load carrying vehicle comprising a unitized load and stress bearing monocoque body and a front wheel drive engine unit. The body comprises a base floor, side walls and a top wall or roof structurally interconnected to support the vertical and torsional forces on the vehicle. The base floor has a length sufficient to provide a cab area and a load carrying area. The base floor is such as to provide a floor in the cab area that is at the same height throughout and at a level such that persons entering the vehicle may step into the vehicle directly in a single step without the need for additional structural steps or running boards. The side walls have openings adjacent the cab area for entrance and exit and one end wall defines structural pillars for receiving the windshield.
