INTRODUCTION
This guide has been provided as an aid to final stage manufacturers in determining conformity to the applicable Emission Control and
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Final stage manufacturers should maintain current knowledge of all Emission Regulations and
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and be aware of their specific responsibility in regards to each standard.
Any manufacturer making material alterations to this incomplete vehicle during the process of manufacturing the complete vehicle should be
constantly alert to all effects, direct or indirect, on other components, assemblies or systems caused by such alterations. No alterations
should be made to the incomplete vehicle that directly or indirectly results in any either component, assembly or system being in nonconformance with applicable Emission Regulations or Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
General Motors Isuzu Commercial Truck, LLC (GMICT) and American Isuzu Motors Inc. will honor its warranty commitment (for the cab-chassis only), to the ultimate consumer, provided: (1) the final stage manufacturer has not made any alterations or modifications which do
not conform to any applicable laws, regulations or standards, or adversely affect the operation of the cab-chassis; and (2) the final stage
manufacturer complied with the instructions contained in this guide with respect to the completion of the vehicle. Otherwise, the warranty
becomes the responsibility of the final stage manufacturer.
The final stage manufacturer is solely responsible for the final certification of the vehicle and for compliance with Emission Control and
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The information contained in this guide has been provided for the final stage manufacturer’s
information and guidance.
This guide contains information pertaining to the: NPR/W3500; NPR-HD/W4500 Gas; NPR/W3500; NPR-HD/W4500 Diesel; NQR/W5500,
NPR-HD/W4500; NQR/W5500 Diesel Crew Cab; and NRR/W5500-HD Series Chassis Cab.
Following is a list of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards applicable to those vehicles with a GVWR greater than 10,000 lbs. Please refer

Transmission
The transmission is removed from the rear. Enough clearance must be provided to allow rearward movement of the transmission
assembly. Clearance should be sufficient to allow 5 to 6 inches of unrestricted movement of the transmission assembly. In addition, provide
at least 2 inches of clearance around the control lever on the side of the transmission to allow free movement without any binding.

Chassis
To maintain the performance of the truck chassis, either a side member or subframe should always be used for body mounting. Body
mounting with low rigidity will often adversely affect riding comfort.
Special Equipment on the Chassis
When installing special equipment on the chassis, extra consideration must be given to the weight and construction of the equipment to
assure proper distribution of the load. Localization of the load should be prevented. All special equipment should be properly secured into
position. We recommend the use of subframe members when installing special equipment.
Subframe Design and Mounting
The subframe assembly should be mounted as close to the cab as possible. It should be contoured to match the shape and dimensions of
the chassis frame as closely as possible.

Subframe Contour
Contouring of the front end of the subframe members as shown in the three illustrations below will prevent stresses from being
concentrated on certain areas of the chassis frame.

preceding section and the section “Modifications to the Chassis Frame.”
