Weren't those built on the M46 XLWB chassis?? (Edit) Nope M45 chassis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERDLator

Are the "L" brackets bolted or riveted? I have seen 2 trucks with the CH-D-54 model #. Oddly enough, both were bolster trucks. Here are 3 pictures from the one at Jack's in Tucson. There is an article in Military Vehicles Magazine Feb 2008 "Unusual Reo 2.5 ton trucks" that show them. If it is...

Just curious, what was on the back? Does it happen to have some 1/2" holes on top of the rear frame rails by the rear axles?
