(similar body also used for Battery charging truck).

The NZ one does seem to have an ex US GMC 353 body fitted....and even retains the cutout for the GMC fuel tank in the right front.

Thanks Alex for sharing your findings.
I have not seen the truck in the metal and before I first shared that picture in 2009 Clive Law hadn’t published his book “Drive to Victory”.
The 5D series body types with 20” high sides certainly seem to be a match, although I wonder why the external part of the wheel wells were removed on this truck.
