This is what I call the international  Burma truck. It has a US Army frame and running gear, front clip, cab and  steel bed.  The wheels are russian, the tires chinese, the engine is japanese, and the wood box, local burmanese made. I suspect most WWII vehicles in Burma have been modified in someway to keep them on the road.

The hood and the fenders have been extend probably 10-12 inches most likely to accommodate the larger engine.

Most of the large trucks have had their engines replaced with Japanese diesel engines.  Not sure what type but maybe "Hino"
