Mine is a 1944 truck, and there are signs of other area of the chassis that have been strengthened over the earlier years. For instance, the bracket on the front crossmember that supports the cowl is doubled. When I look at earlier trucks, that bracket is often cracked. There is a re-enforcement bar for the rear roller assembly that I do not see on the earlier examples at work.

I can get you some measurements as you go along with your restoration, but winter will soon be here which will make measuring difficult. It seems to me someone on the forum went through this in the past, and someone in Europe had made up drawings for the rear body.
