    notice the color coordinated wood on the truck stake-sides ? – I wondered why the stake-sides I have had green paint on them ? – now , if someone knows what kind of wood the flat-bed and stakes-sides were made of , i’d be a happy KAMPER !! – it was plainly some kind of wood that rotted out fairly quickly , hence , no to very few willys stake-body trucks still on the road ..
