Hollow tubing having a generally rectangular cross-section has a longitudinal ridge along a top and a corresponding longitudinal channel along a base. Pieces of tubing can be stacked on top of one another with the ridge of one piece of tubing engaged in the channel of another piece of tubing. The truck or trailer has a peripheral frame and a first piece of tubing is welded to an edge of that frame with the ridge extending upward. Caulking is then placed along the ridge and a second piece of tubing is placed on the first piece so that the ridge of the first piece is located within a channel of the second piece. This method is repeated until a wall of desired size is constructed. Pieces of tubing subsequent to the first piece, are not welded to one another. When the wall is completed, U-shaped brackets are welded to each end. No pre-existing supports, whether vertical or horizontal are required. The tubing is extruded aluminum and presents smooth outer and inner surfaces upon completion. Presently, aluminum boxes are constructed for trucks and trailers using aluminum flats or strapping that are welded or riveted to pre- existing vertical and/or horizontal supports.
