Looks like someone built a homemade house-type body onto a CMP 3 ton or possibly 30cwt cargo box. Looks like they reversed the tailgate.
I'm pretty sure I can see the foot holes in the tailgate.

Didn't one of the American generals like Patton or Bradley have a box like this on the back of a CCKW or similar truck? I remember a scene from the movie "Patton" where he and Omar were having a conversation in one. In fact, wasn't there a truck for sale in the last year in "Supply Line" that was advertised as having the same kind of box on the back?


CHIMO!

It is a wooden body from a Chevrolet 1 1/2 ton 4x4 with a chicken house built on it, made from wooden packing case originating in Hamilton. On.
