Hi Larry,
bearing in mind it was a year ago I saw it, I'll be going on memory and photographic evidence. The body has been on that truck a very long time, I don't remember seeing any plates, unfortunately. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew better, I'd almost say that it's a Chev 1 1/2 ton body on it, but the fittings on each version are quite different, petrol tanks and spare carriers mainly. The cab, on the other hand, is not the same as the Ford 1 1/2 ton, the only thing that is close is the Ford MH dump truck cab, which, according to the bible, were used for the Alcan Highway and Canol Project. The body is not a dumper, as the mudflaps come straight down, and they are there! It doesn't have the dumper bumper (wahey). To me, its a rare bird and worth saving. To go further would mean going back up to Shrewsbury, which is a bit of a trek for me.
Need some of this, now...
