Default 1940s commercial trucks

I have nothing to add specific to the question. However, my grandfather operated a trucking company in Canada from 1932 to the 1960s. He seemed to like Internationals over other companies. Maybe the local dealer was easier to work with - dunno.

But, he bought frame and chassis truck. He had skilled woodworkers and fabricators in his employees who built every box, arch, tailboard and trailer body from local materials. No factory pieces in his line-up. For the company to delivery "incomplete" trucks (or tractors as it were), was therefore not unusual for the times.
