In the case of a motor vehicle, the term chassis means the frame plus the "running gear" like engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and suspension. A body (sometimes referred to as "coachwork"), which is usually not necessary for integrity of the structure, is built on the chassis to complete the vehicle.
In an airplane the chassis consists only of the landing gear or undercarriage, not the airframe itself.
An AMX 30 AuF1 chassis under repair.A tank's chassis (hull) comprises the bottom part of the tank, which includes the tracks, power plant, driver's seat and crew compartment.This describes the lower hull, although common usage of "tank chassis" might include the upper hull to mean the tank without the turret. Tank chassis often serve as basis for tank-converted platforms such as armored personnel carriers, combat engineering vehicles, etc.
A chassis in a television, radio, or other electronic device consists of the metal frame on which the circuit boards and other electronic components are mounted. In the absence of a metal frame the chassis refers to the circuit boards and components themselves, not the physical structure.
In computers, the chassis refers to the rigid framework onto which the motherboard, memory, disk drives and other equipment are mounted. It also supports the shell-like case: the housing that protects all of the vital internal equipment from dust, moisture, and tampering. The term "case modding" refers to the artistic styling of otherwise rather functional and plain computer encasings.

You have several terms for consolidation of your car. You have the drive train (engine, transmission, drive shafts, wheels, tires, and rear end) and you have the chassis (body, suspension, and steering) Just that simple. Sorry this other joker took up so much of your time filling the page with misinformation.
