One last thing it has split rims. Thats all I know.

There should be an ID plate on the firewall identifying what model but as Keith said it appears to be a 1941. More then likely it could be a 1 ton utility type vehicle which had a style side ute type body on the rear similar to the AWM picture below..

There will be a serial number stamped in the firewall, but this just identifies the basic truck cab serial, and gives no clue to the actual variant. Although these 1 Ton vans had the model code 11Y, the cab sheetmetal is stamped 11T for a 3 Ton truck.
11T: 1941 3 Ton truck
81: 1938-42 221ci 85hp engine
DD: Department of Defence? (ie not civilian truck?)
1118: Individual serial No of cab.
