Me thinks they just made some sheetmetal adjustments and set the CUCV body on the deuce frame......I had the same thought using a crew cab for a bob deuce.
When I was in Germany back in the 70's I was in a Signal unit and drove for the Mess Hall and Supply Room. Five days a week when we were in garrison I did a run of some sort.
In two years I racked up over 50,000 accident free miles...got an Army Achievement Medal as my PCS award.

The B-17 was one of the finest bombers ever built by the US defense industry.

It is getting harder and harder to find an old school radiator repair shop that will repair rather than try to sell you a new or rebuilt radiator. Considering the cost of a new or remanufactured one I would hunt for one.
Some NOS radiators sold off GL a while back....I don't know if anybody...
