Rich, don't be too hasty on the cargo bows. This might be an original framework.

Looking at the cab , it has the metal rear window cover with the rectangular apeture for the canvas 'speaking tube' . More than likely it was a FFW vehicle.

Like Mike says those top bows are the originals. That curved metal as you call it looks to be an original fender. The two fenders are off of something else.
The open ended boxy thing is part of the locker setup. Check this thread. Great find!

C8 Bush Find - Background Info
Guys,
Thank you for all of the information. This definitely helps with putting some history to the vehicle and helps me with figuring out what was originally on the rear of the truck. I will scour the site to see if there is anything else tucked away or hidden under the leaves or rear of the truck. There are a couple of out buildings nearby the truck so I will look in those as well. With a ending serial 2868, is it safe to say that this truck was manufactured in 1940?
