It is really good to to see someone restore one of the original platform bodies John. It appears to be a GM unit (the Fords had their name embossed in the rear end-rail) and as such was built in Paris, IL by the now defunct MidWest body Co. They supplied GM with bodies up into the 70's.

Great work and good luck. Your truck is really looking good.
