Nigel,

Not sure if you are still looking for info on wooden bodies. Cannot think of a suitable composite steel/wooden body for you to copy, but in India and most likely other countries where (semi-)knocked down CMP chassis/cabs were assembled, various types of wooden bodies were manufactured. See this thread for a picture of a Ford F60L Cab 12 with a wooden body somewhere in North Africa:



HTH,
