The two terms are used interchangeable to describe a separate structure that supports the body of a car or truck. The word chassis may be somewhat older and less used today. Both terms are sometimes incorrectly used to describe supporting structure of any vehicle. Many vehicles built today are unibody construction, not using a separate structure to support the body, thus no frame or chassis.
