[MV] RE CCKW cargo beds

A Chevrolet body is about the same size as a short WB CCKW-352. It is not
quite as wide inside the body.

You can use an M211/M35 cargo body on a LWB CCKW-353. It is the same length
only wider. This presents problems with the mirrors especially with a closed
cab truck. I used one for 8 year until I bought my correct body in Europe.

Chevy and CCKW bodies are very rare in the US. You may still be able to buy
CCKW bodies in the yards in Europe. The Chevy's are probably a lot tougher to
find.
