Default rear body

Hi,
The rear body is from a 1930's-era 1.5 ton US military truck. Have seen this type on Dodge and Chevrolet's.
Thanks, David

You can see a couple of the grounding straps under the hood so it started out as a wireless truck.
The serial number is 58 higher than mine and the engine number is 144 higher than mine.
The side window openings have been modified and they've added that rear crossmember.
The rear troop seats have that park bench look about them.
