Dear Mr. Moultrie: This is in reply to your letter of March 16, 1972, in which you reques clarification of the Certification requirements (49 CFR Part 567). You ask whether certification is necessary, mentioning specifically certification to Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.108, when you install new dump bodies on used chassis manufactured both before and after January 1, 1968.; The motor vehicle safety standards apply only to new vehicles, an neither compliance with the standards nor 'Certification' is required if you are installing truck bodies on used chassis.; We are pleased to be of assistance. Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
