The peripheral wall structure includes a plurality of side post assemblies. The peripheral wall structure further has a plurality of panels each having an inside surface facing the cargo storage space and an oppositely facing outside surface. Each of a plurality of side post assemblies has a body with a vertically extending length and a "U" shape as viewed in cross section taken transversely to the length of the body. Each side post assembly is secured to at least one of the panels and has: a) a base with a width; b) first and second legs projecting respectively from the first and second base ends; and c) first and second flanges projecting laterally oppositely respectively from the first and second legs. Each side post assembly further has a reinforcement plate that is secured to the base to reinforce the base.
