From photos I have seen, and a model at the below site of one, they had the same front end as the Long Range Desert Group Chevy truck with a bus body behind it. Here is the site that has a scratchbuilt one with a description on how he did it. It looks pretty good. I hope this gets you started. This guy has done a bunch of great trucks on his other pages as well.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you! Did you see his Morris Commercial's? And his M2 half track mobile shop??
Nice stuff.
Going to have to do some more experimenting with heat-bending plastic sheet since I have so much left from my T2K build........now, let me see...........

the bus in MASH was a 1949 Ford. Most of the buses were built on Ford Chassis. The bus in the site is not quite accurate as it has the wrong type of axles under it. But he does have some very unusual kits there
