Hi Les:
That shot of the Ford V8-51 is quite nice indeed!!
I might suggest, though, that it was not originally a military vehicle. In part because of the civilian tyhpe wheels and tyres.
What it reminds me of is a vehicle that was rather common in at least Scandinavia and Switzerland, a PostBus. I will try to find some photos I have somewhere of these things.
Basically, they were half passenger vehicle, built on a bus or medium truck chassis, and half mail and cargo vehicle. They serviced the remote towns and villages and I suppose were in some cases the only link these villages had with "the world".
