Hi Jim, I agree on the F15A being a cool and fun to drive vehicle - I have one too
As for the cargo body, I doubt if the 8-cwt body of the C8 in that junkyard would fit your truck. Your F15A would probably have been fitted with a wooden Type 2A1 body -

WW2 British 15 cwt body drawings do help to get an idea of the construction of such a wooden body. It might even prove easier to reconstruct one of these rather than restore that 8-cwt body.
Anyhow, keep us posted on your progress!
