aj.lec's Chev looks too wide across the floor level of the cab to be a K-51 and/or panelvan. I have a vague recollection of a Bus type body that was built up wide across the floor like that.

A bus variant might explain the window holes on the curve of the back of the cab where they have rolled it around to form the back of the cab
These looked original as they were pressed into the metal work with the seal lip

Engines were 216..the 235 was a rareish heavy truck unit introduced in 1941. From known serials, it appears that Flint, MI and Norwood, OH plants were heavily involved with the asembly of the military-front panels.
