Has mods. My guess is that this is not a 1945 jeep. The body has had some work.

Kind of looks like a fiberglass body.
Paul, I wonder that at first, too. Two things made me learn towards it being metal: 1) most fiberglass bodies don’t have the drain holes cut in the sides and 2) it looks like the step was extended, which I’ve only seen on Parkette and Bobcat bodies.
Yet, a close look at that dash makes me wonder if you aren’t correct. I just can’t be sure either way.
The way the rear wheel openings roll out. Hard to tell.
