No body support brackets that project more than 1.125” outside of the frame are to be
attached to the frame rail adjacent to the area of the fuel tank.
1. Any body installed by a subsequent manufacturer is mounted securely to ab-
sorb loads and prevent movement relative to the frame which could cause any
fuel system component to be punctured, separated or otherwise damaged
when tested to the applicable procedures of FMVSS 301.
2. No installed components or vehicle modifications by a subsequent manufac-
turer impinge on or cause distortion to the fuel system with sufficient energy to
puncture, separate. or otherwise damage the fuel system when tested to the
applicable procedures of FMVSS 301. Care should be taken that the structur-
al integrity of the vehicle is restored following any structural modifications.

Added bodies must be securely fastened to the basic vehicle structure. Do not attach
through side rails, but bolt securely through rail flange at floor and added reinforcing
plates. A minimum of 10
_
departure angle should be maintained if frame and/or body
is extended.
Chassis
As shown on the chassis drawings, the relationship of the dash panel, brake pedal, clutch
bracket and steering column must be maintained to ensure proper operation of brakes
and steering.
Body structure must be provided to firmly support the steering column and brake pedal
brace in the fore and aft direction and laterally so that the angular dimensional geometry
shown on the chassis drawing is preserved. On all “P” truck single axle models, provi-
sions are incorporated in the dash toe, and frame assembly for body assembly attach-
ments. It is imperative that the body assembly structure be integrated to the chassis
through the above parts to ensure vehicle structural integrity. If this design criteria is not
adhered to by the body builders, General Motors Corporation cannot be responsible or
liable for chassis warranty resulting from inadequate attachment of the body or the chas-
sis.
Body underside must include inner fenders so that engine compartment is adequately
shielded from wheel splash.
The following statement applies to P 30032 model only.
The front crossmember extension must not be used as a bumper. Body Builder’s bum-
per should be attached to the front crossmember directly opposite the side rails and to
the front crossmember outboard of the side rails as required. ABS module protector ex-
tension must be maintained or replaced by equivalent part.
The following statement applies to P 30042 model only.
If the standard front bumper is not used, the Body Builder’s bumper should be attached
to the side rails and outboard of the side rails as required. ABS module protector bar
must be maintained or replaced by equivalent part.
If the body builder installs seating other than that supplied with vehicle, it is the body
builder’s responsibility to ensure that the seating and restraint systems comply with
FMVSS requirements. The restraint systems supplied with the vehicle were designed
to accommodate the seating reference points and seat travel of the original equipment
seats only.
Air Conditioning
For additional information refer to
Engine - Section 6.
NOTE:
Air conditioning systems using R-134A refrigerant are equipped with metric
fittings to prevent interchange with R-12 refrigerant components. Do not
interchange R-134A components, refrigerant oil or service equipment with
R-12 components, refrigerant oil or service equipment.
