Abstract
Truck bodies are useful for receiving and transporting material from an excavation site. When abrasive material is being loaded and transported, the truck body is equipped with a hardened replaceable wear member to reduce wear and denting. The truck body includes a plurality of base members welded together. A non-metallic member is bonded to the base members. A hardened replaceable wear member is bonded to the non-metallic member. This arrangement of components provides truck body floors which have hardened wear members, which are bonded to the base members, thus, eliminating the need for welding.
