Quite a "project", that is going to be alot of work to get back into shape. It looks mid 40s, maybe Plymouth business coupe, but not sure about the back half missing though.
It almost looks like a bread/milk van of some sort with the opening at the back of the cab. |

Probably a Ford, given the transverse leaf springs and torque tube.

That would explain what appears to be a 4 cylinder engine.

Interesting that your bud has a LHD example, and from the factory firewall, it looks like they spent plenty of effort making RHD and LHD stampings, rather than adapting parts to work with both. Maybe they sold these to lots of European countries?
