carryalls and other WCs and PWs all have the body fixed at left front mount then the others are all mounted with a long spring bolt combo to allow the body to come off the frame while twisting. I sold my carryall because I didnt like how much the body moved around and the hatched opened at will. I concluded that the carryal body was nver designed to be on a truck chassis. The WC54 on the other hand was very well built adn I never had any of the flexing problems offroad with it like the carryall did. If I were to build another lcarryal to offroad I would reinforce the body and floor cross members. the frames are designed to twist a whole bunch that is why they dont have any gussets. I think Paul in NY did lots of reinforcing on his carryall body and added the steel floor which I imagine stiffened it up a bunch
