Many years ago Mike Kelly had drawn up the basics of the 15 cwt GS body as fitted to the Morris CS8, Guy Ant, Fordson WOT2 and Bedford MW GS trucks.
Mike used an original Morris Commercial built GS body dating from 1941 as a pattern. The original 7/8" boards appear to be a softwood e.g. pine or fir. The wood has a salmon pink hue and may be Douglas Fir or possibly a exotic pine from Europe. The 15 cwt GS bodies were built by various companies from 1934 on to 1945 and they do vary in detail. It should be noted these drawings were measured from a Morris Commercial body circa 1941 and they will vary in detail from bodies built by other companies.

Mike Kelly’s website was originally published on the now defunct geocities.com domain. A copy can be retrieved from https://web.archive.org/web/20080318...cz/GSBody.html
