Default wood or steel

The answer is although most bodies were steel there were also steel and wood composite bodies as well as canvas covered wood as in the Australian ambulances. The Aussie wireless on the C15 and C15A chassis was steel but caneite and plywood lined on the inside.
Generally, the early (1941 and earlier) long wheelbase trucks were more likely to have timber on the tray and even the spare wheel carrier construction.
