Interesting, it is indeed the earlier 5/4 gas van body. The CUCV van bodies were almost identical, but had square edges at the top. When we were getting rid of the 2 fleets in the mid 90s, we were advised that none of the early bodies were to be sold (they went to CORCAN for rebuild and installation onto the LSVWs, ) but the later CUCV bodies were to be sold.
I have one of the CUCV bodies waiting for me when I get back home, which I will be installing onto an early gas 5/4 ton, so I will in effect be doing the opposite of the truck pictured. I will, however, be matching the paint scheme to the Cdn pattern.
