I downloaded the zip file of pics.
While the nose is in good condition and appears to be correct, the bed is definitely wrong. Probably off some British military application. The fender on the passenger side has no dimple for the spare tire. There's not even a spare tire bracket on the passenger side. There is a spare on the drivers side, located between two Command Car running boards. Looking at how the cab is made as compared to an open cab WC, and with all the other little clues, this looks like a brave attempt to make something out of a hacked up Command Car. As such, it has zero value to a collector, unless it was cheap enough so a collector could restore it back to a Command car or more likely, add a proper open cab and a proper bed and make an open cab weapons carrier from it. It has potential, but I'm afraid someone is going to get burned out of $6500+.
