It's not a terribly bad setup for a car. Basically a 30's Ford-styled pressed body on a solid frame, Ford-similar front and rear axles (with torque tubes, I think), and a nose restyled to slightly resemble an International D or Willys Overland. Simple, simple, simple - might not be hard to build a replica.

Somebody found one a while back, looks like (not 4wd). It also seems the non-4wd versions are much more common, so you'd only have to build a front axle... maybe.
