It is one of an early CCKW SWB taken stateside in early WWII with a disassembled Training Glider made from a Piper L-4 setting on GI Bunk Mattresses in the cargo body. I keep it in my scrap book. It was cut from a magazine.

My favorite is one of a battle worn wooden cargo bodied long wheel base taking on supplies in the South Pacific. The truck is loaded with " stuff" , windshield is laying down and she looks really tired, but is still delivering needed war goods to the front.
