As I understand it (based on the AEDB Design Record), the 2K1 body used for the 15cwt Wire-5 trucks was aluminum skin on steel frame. I've spoken with a couple of people who either own or have examined such bodies. From memory the skin is described as "16 or 18 guage, half-hard aluminum", riveted to the steel frame. Is there a chance that you can either post the memo you refer to (or if it's in electronic form e-mail me a copy)?
