Introduction
This manual provides body builders with appropriate information and guidelines useful in the body planning and in-
stallation process. This information will be helpful when installing bodies or other associated equipment.
This manual contains appropriate dimensional information, guidelines for mounting bodies, guidelines for modifying
frames, electrical wiring information, and other information useful in the body installation process.
The intended primary users of this manual are body builders who install bodies and associated equipment on
K270/K370 Medium Duty vehicles. Dealers who sell and service the
vehicle will also find this information useful.
This Body Builder’s Manual can be very useful when specifying a vehicle, particularly when the body builder is in-
volved in the vehicle definition and ordering process. Early in the process, professional body builders can often con-
tribute valuable information that reduces the ultimate cost of the body installation.
This manual is not a maintenance manual or an operation manual.
• For chassis maintenance and repair information consult the PACCAR ServiceNet available in the Service De-
partment of the selling dealer or order a custom shop manual or parts catalog for your vehicle through your local
dealer.
• For chassis operating information consult the Operator’s Manual, included with each vehicle. It can also be or-
dered from your local dealer.
