 The Bed fenders and sides look right, looks to be the Civvie bed as it
should be. Not sure if you are referring to this picture:
http://www.aacvm.com.ar/img/vehicles/18.jpg I mailed that to the list a
while back. The seats in that photo are not original M-601 Seats but, out of
some sort of passenger car.
If you compare the seats and bed to this one:
http://www.aacvm.com.ar/img/vehicles/3.jpg they look right. The tailgate is
a Civvie PW Tailgate, an M-37 Tailgate looks like this:

It does seem to have the rear end jacked up a bit.

Esteemed listers,
Something looks wrong with this truck. I believe it has been made from M-601
and M37 parts. Might be a M-601 front clip on an M37 chassis. Or maybe a
M601 cab, and frame, with an M37 bed? That would explain the rear fenders.
Some things about the cab floor and seat supports are wrong looking, when I
compare it to shots from that nice clean Arabian M601 that was going around
awhile back. It also doesn't sit right on its wheels, and looks to be too
short a wheelbase. Anyone know if the two models used the same tailgates?
That sure as hell is an M37 tailgate, supports, and hinges. Dunno bout this
one....I bow to the experts here.
