The letters on the door are PCC which stands for provisional condemnation certificate. Basically it means the army is getting rid of it. I cannot say what the numbers signify after the PCC....perhaps the date of April 17 1959, but it more likely will be the certificate number. I have seen other CMPs with the PCC number on the doors as well as on the cowl like yours.

It does look like it was a KL. The welder on those was very heavy, so the truck would have had a few extra leafs on the back axle. If you make it into a regular cargo truck, you may find the ride a little harsh, but then again none of the CMPs feel like they are gently riding on water.
