Dear Mr. Bryson: This is in reply to your letter of June 7, 1974, asking whether NHTS Certification requirements (49 CFR Parts 567, 568) apply to the mounting of a device called the Elgin Eductor on a used truck.; The NHTSA does not consider the Certification requirements to apply t the mounting of a new truck body (based on the information you provide, this includes the Elgin eductor) on a used truck chassis. We consider additions to used chassis to be used vehicles under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, and no certification is therefore required.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
