I do not know if it is or not? But it looks a lot like some of the bodies that Syverson (sp?) built for model Ts back in the 1950s and 1960s. I knew a fellow that "restored" one of them back in the early 1970s. It was said to be about fifteen years old at that time, but had been badly abused by a previous owner. They were well built.

That's a beautiful parts salad (some 1914 and a lot later). I don't know the manufacturer of the truck bed, but it does look like a factory job.

Comparison looks similar but pick up section isn't the same. May just be buggy seats
