Steel hauler half cab, used to haul steel and pipe. Note support bracket mounted on right front bumper. Uncommon on pickup trucks but was available on larger GM and IH trucks as well.

They are called steel haulers, half cabs, or one man cabs. It's a specialty market. IH still has them from the factory.

Coming in late on this... I used to excuse myself and say, "You remind me of my fifth wife."
"Just how many times have you been married?"
"Four times. What'cha doin' this weekend?"

I caught the end of an old episode of MASH (S7E13) and was surprised to see them driving a '48-'50 F2 with an strange box on the back. Anybody know what this is. Remember this was filmed in the mountains to the west of Malibu not Korea.

Well that site can be a rabbit hole.
Here is the 54 bus used in the series for a war that ended if 53.

It looks like they did a complete episode with this bus. Where can we watch old episodes?

I'd say it's an aftermarket box (if there was such a thing).

Kathy and I were recently re-watching all the M*A*S*H shows. The first time they ran, I knew nothing about old Ford trucks. But this time, when they showed that bus I yelled out "Hey, that's a 1954 bus and the war was over in 1953!"
