I'm with Rick on this....commonly called the "body in white" these days, it is the main inner structure that surrounds the passenger cabin. Includes floors, firewall, A&B pillars, rockers, and inner wheelhouses. While it's common to replace parts of the cage (rockers, floors), the rest of it usually stays relatively intact barring a significant collision.
