perfectly normal 
the spec body is built using the ground as level rather than the chassis, if you look between the bottom of the body and the road it will be level

old story with these specs
think most of the reco boys on ere will agree
they always snapped at the back of the cab and rotted like paper
and then you add the way the body is fitted as guy has mentioned
they tried strengthening the later ones but they moved the problem to the forward of the chassis hence why the AA dumped these types
