The cargo bed on the White appears to be an early all steel standard GS body as used on GMC CC(K)W 353 which is possibly an indication of the crane's origin.
The tailgate is a local fabrication.

Hi David,
Well spotted! Thanks! That will be of great use when translating the pics to drawing plans!

Hello Goncalo,

You are doing a great bit of research here!

But would you please be so kind to attach the pictures to your postings? This is part of our policy as you can be sure the links to the pictures will disappear one day, sooner rather than later, and then all your research will have been fruitless.

Thanks in advance!
