An integral yoke member casting having a back wall portion, a first side wall portion formed integral with the back wall portion adjacent a first outer edge thereof. The first side wall portion has a front face portion which is engageable with a rear face portion of a front stop secured within a center sill member. A second side wall portion is formed integral with the back wall portion adjacent a second outer edge thereof. The second side wall portion includes a front face portion which is engageable with a rear face of another front stop secured within such center sill member. A top wall portion extends between inner surfaces of the first and second side wall portions and outwardly from such rear wall portion past the front faces of both the first and second side wall portions. There is a bottom wall portion which extends between such inner surfaces of such first and second side wall portions and outwardly from such rear wall portion past the front faces of both the first and second side wall portions. A first aperture is formed through the top wall portion and an axially opposed second aperture is formed through such bottom wall portion. A slot is formed through such bottom wall portion adjacent the inner surface of such rear wall portion for receiving at least a portion of a tapered wedge therein. A tapered wedge guide is disposed adjacent such rear wall portion for preventing lateral movement of such tapered wedge.
