A bodyguide and holddown system for use with dump bodies mounted on vehicles, such as dump trucks and dump trailers. The system has complementary first and second guide and holddown mechanisms or components. One of the components is connected or affixed to the chassis of the dump truck or trailer, with the other component connected to an I-beam support of the dump body. During movement of the dump body from an elevated to a lowered position, the components interact with each other to center the dump body on the chassis. After the dump body has been centered on the chassis, the components interact with each other to releaseably hold the dump body on the chassis and to oppose lateral movement of the dump body with respect to the chassis.
