A truck body structure 10 has a floor 12 and front wall 14 connected by a curved section 16. Floor side portions 18, 20 angle upwards and outwards relative to a central floor portion 17. Also, the floor angles upwards towards a rear of the body structure relative to the body structure being in a loading position. Floor plates 26 can overlap at overlap joints 28. Welded joints are provided along recesses 35 formed along plate edges 37. Structural support members 34 can provide additional support to the floor 12. The structural support members can be curved 40 and can include recesses 35, 52 along side edges 37, 50 thereof to provide intermittent side edge weld points 39, 54 between the recesses and therefore decrease the risk of any weld crack propagating along an entire length of the respective support member or joint. 14 Fig 3 c -- -.-- -- - - --- - - 30 32 Fig 4 4 16\1 42 35 345 42 35 Fig 5
