A separate type of body and frame assembly includes a frame portion and a body portion. The frame portion includes a pair of side rails, each of which has a plurality of openings formed therethrough. A plurality of cross members extend between side rails and are secured thereto. Each of the cross members has first and second ends that extend through the openings formed through the side rails. Each of the first and second ends of the cross members is formed integrally and unitarily with the cross member and has a body mount structure, such as an aperture, formed therein or otherwise provided thereon. The ends of the cross members are initially inserted through the openings formed through the side rails. Then, such ends of the cross members are secured to the side rails, such as by electromagnetic pulse welding, to form the frame portion. The body mount apertures cooperate with respective body mounts provided on the body portion to connect the body portion to the frame portion to form the vehicle body and frame assembly.
