Views: Wood Cargo Body

I don't think 648 views of the wood cargo body series is too "shabby."

No CCKW detailed fabrication drawings tho. I'll bet that is what is anticipated.

Thanks for the photos Weasle Nut. What I noticed,and I suspicion that someone can answer this, is the fact the wooden bodies are on closed cab trucks. Most photos I have seen they were on open cabbed trucks. Could these bodies have been used on the final production of the closed cab CCKW's.
