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.

Ford put a flathead 4 in trucks in the early 40s but that ain’t one.

He should duplicate this exact look. This is a very attractive little flatbed. Great colors, nice wheels and tires and the stance is exactly right. Very nice proportions.
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?

Maybe he could get the Project Binky guys to put a blown V8 into the front and keep it stock looking!

You know they’d pull it off. Sure it’d take them a hundred years... but where there’s a will there’s a way!
