Body is 3/4 ton simply based on the location of the battery box being located behind the passenger door.

Very difficult to understand some of your descriptions on the truck. Having chassis number like that leads me to believe that it is a PW with a 3/4 ton (WC53) carryall body grafted on. The 3/4 ton carryalls had a chassis number that starts with a 815. The picture shows a PW front clip also. Also a carry all would have round holes in the dash for all instruments.

If the carryall seat frames are there, keep them they are very hard to find. If the side window winders are there, even if burned, they are very rare and like hens teeth to find. The only part of the winder that my be heat damaged beyond repair would be the springs in the winders which can be replaced. The arms and mounting bracket are not replaceable and are unique to the carryall. The rear tailgate hinges are keepers. They are very hard to find. They are often broken where the pin goes through it. Most people throw them when they see that. However they are repairable and pieces of steel can be welded in to replace the missing sections around the pins. The hinges are cast steel and weld very nicely.
