A cab mount for attaching a frame to a body is provided to prevent a forcible movement of the body generated under the influence of vertical vibration of the frame. A first cab mount includes: a collar extending vertically; and an upper mount rubber and a lower mount rubber disposed to face in the upper-lower direction on an outer periphery of the collar. The collar is attached to a body of a vehicle by being inserted into an attachment hole of a ladder frame of the vehicle while a peripheral part of the attachment hole is positioned between the upper mount rubber and the lower mount rubber. The upper mount rubber is spaced apart from the ladder frame in the upper-lower direction by a first predetermined distance while the lower mount rubber is spaced apart from the ladder frame in the upper-lower direction by a second predetermined distance.

The outrigger includes a cab mounting bracket joined to the side rail. The cab mounting bracket includes a rear end side that is inclined inward in the vehicle width direction as it goes rearward. The cab mounting bracket further includes, in the middle of the rear end, a bent portion which is bent to have a convex shape toward the front of the vehicle.
