The old phrase 'coachwork' comes to mind seeing that Woodie. Besides being overly massive, I can see how old style horse carriage builders became car body builders.
In my family's history, my grandfather started a parcel delivery service that became a 30-truck long haul entreprise by the 1960s. I'd been told that skilled labour and materials, was cheaper buying than a production unit, especially when he hired good men and owned farms with woodlots. It was nothing for him to buy a cab and chassis single axle truck and over the winter have his men build a bed and stake sides. They also built highway speed trailers for the single axle tractors. Quite small and underpowered by today's consumer standards, but big rigs for the day.
