That is a version of the shopvan tank.

If the owner finds the correct tank (and body) and wants to sell that one, let me know!

My cargo CCKW was almost identical to this one until I founf the right body and tank. It took me 8 years, but I got to enjoy it while the search went on!

Chin up, you will find the parts.

Has to be a Studebaker with a CCKW cab, steps, wings and grill grafted on, note how the winch is different form a CCKW and how its fitted, but I could be wrong!!

The cab etc look correct. If it is a banjo truck it is definately a GMC

One thing for sure. This is a hobby that is always challenging and eventually finding all the right parts is the fun part of playing with old trucks.
