The center lower frame connection can also have a rearward angular beam and a forward horizontal beam.

A dump body pivot pin, suspension node, and rear frame connection comprises a dump body pivot pin boss, a rear suspension connection boss, outer and inner upper rear frame tube connection bosses, outer and inner lower rear frame tube connection bosses, upper and lower beams, a beam connection web, and a support tube connection boss. The dump pivot pin boss has a pivot bore, a pin bore center axis, and inner and outer flat surfaces. The rear suspension connection boss includes a suspension connection center axis and inner and outer flat surfaces. The upper beam connects the outer and inner upper rear frame tube connection bosses to the dump body pivot pin boss. The lower beam connects the outer lower rear frame connection boss to the rear suspension connection boss and the dump body pivot pin boss and the inner lower rear frame tube connection boss to the dump body pivot pin boss.

A front upper suspension connection for a space frame comprises a bottom surface fixedly attachable to a front lower suspension connection; a top rear mounting surface fixedly attachable to a front upper frame connection; a top front mounting surface fixedly attachable to a first elongate support member; a front strut attachment point located below the top rear mounting surface and the top front mounting surface to pivotably attach a front strut; and a lower rear mounting surface located below the top rear mounting surface fixedly attachable to a second elongate support member. The front strut attachment point can include a hole passing through the top rear mounting surface, a coaxial hole passing through the top front mounting surface, and a front strut attachment pin configured to pass through the top rear mounting surface, the top front mounting surface, and a top mounting hole integral to the front strut.

A center upper frame connection for a space frame can comprise a center boss; a rearward mounting surface facing rearward; a rearward angular center upper frame tube connection boss oriented downward and rearward; a vertical center upper frame tube connection boss oriented downward; a forward angular center upper frame tube connection boss oriented forward and downward; and a forward angular mounting surface facing forward and upward. The rearward mounting surface can fixedly attach a center upper horizontal frame connection, the rearward angular center upper frame tube connection boss can fixedly attach a first elongate support structure, the vertical center upper frame tube connection boss can fixedly attach a second elongate support structure, the forward angular center upper frame tube connection boss can fixedly attach to a third elongate support structure, and the forward angular mounting surface can fixedly attach a center upper frame nodal connection.

A center upper frame connection for a space frame can comprise a center boss; a rearward mounting surface facing rearward; a rearward angular center upper frame tube connection boss oriented downward and rearward; a vertical center upper frame tube connection boss oriented downward; a forward angular center upper frame tube connection boss oriented forward and downward; and a forward angular mounting surface facing forward and upward. The rearward mounting surface can fixedly attach a center upper horizontal frame connection, the rearward angular center upper frame tube connection boss can fixedly attach a first elongate support structure, the vertical center upper frame tube connection boss can fixedly attach a second elongate support structure, the forward angular center upper frame tube connection boss can fixedly attach to a third elongate support structure, and the forward angular mounting surface can fixedly attach a center upper frame nodal connection.

A front upper frame connection for a space frame can comprise a top surface; a bottom surface opposite the top surface; a right-side surface; a left-side surface opposite the right-side surface; a front surface; a rear surface opposite the front surface; a pair of forward support plates provided on the front surface; a pair of forward flat mounting surfaces; and a pair of rocker attachment interfaces located on the top surface adjacent to the rear surface and respectively the right-side surface and the left-side surface. The front surface and the forward support plates can define a cutout section. Each of the forward support plates is curved and runs outward from a transverse centerline of the top surface and then forward.
