Oliver. your English is just fine, a whole lot better than my French. That is a real rarity and a great find. There are some photos of a wooden bed truck in the Weare Vally Section 2005 under WWII vehicles.
Good luck with your truck, it is really a nice one.

Hi Olivier
Welcome
All airborne cargo trucks have composite beds
I did not know that any 352s were converted to "split frames"other than the prototype with a hard cab.
Hope this helps
John

Greetings Olivier.
On my other site I have a somewhat blog of my vehicle restorations.
I started to restore my CCKW air-portable 353 last summer. There are some pictures of the composite bed on this page.

Good Luck with your project.
Bill
