Apparatus and method of adding a passenger compartment to a mini-truck or a similar structure

摘要

A method for adding a compartment to a commercially available mini-truck vehicle includes the steps of cutting the frame rails of the original vehicle to separate the front and cargo sections and then extending the chassis by adding extension members which are welded to the cut rails. A frame platform is emplaced on the extended sections and a fiberglass compartment is secured to the frame platform. The resultant vehicle possesses the same contours as the original vehicle while the added compartment allows at least two additional passengers to be transported.
