It is advantageous for the dump body of a mining or off-road truck to be both strong and lightweight. Accordingly, a dump body with a faceted floor is disclosed. The dump body comprises a floor formed from a plurality of planar plates, arranged in two dimensions, and joined at angles to form a pseudo-curvature. The planar plates are easy and inexpensive to manufacture, and the angled joints provide rigidity that eliminates the need for external stiffeners, thereby maintaining the strength of the dump body while decreasing the weight and cost of the dump body.
