Abstract A lowering chassis attachment 10 for a front wheel drive truck 100 comprises a deck frame 12 and rear non-driven wheels 14. A front hinge mechanism 20 at the front section of the deck frame 12 and a rear suspension assembly 40 for the rear wheels 14 work together to allow the deck frame 12 to be configurable between a raised driving configuration (Figure 1(a)) and a dropped loading/unloading configuration (Figure 1(b)). In the driving configuration, the deck frame 12 is raised from and generally parallel to the ground and allows for normal driving. In the dropped configuration, the deck frame 12 is lowered to rest on, or be adjacent to, the ground to allow easier loading or unloading of cargo onto the deck frame 12. The truck cabin 102 pivots rearwardly relative to the deck frame 12 in moving from the driving configuration to the dropped configuration, and pivots forwardly back to its upright position in moving from the dropped configuration to the driving configuration. \ 50 44104 14 ' 24 102 55 14FIGURE 2
