I have picture of a 47 Fargo 1/2 Cambell-bodied woody. The body on this one looks very similar to the Campbell body on my Power Wagon. One distinguishing characteristic is the way the roof curves down at the back. So both of the pictures posted by Joe look like Campbell bodies, not Cantrells. Joe may have other information...I am just going on the shape of the back roof.

Now for contrast, look at the Cantrell bodied PW on p-59 of Don Bunn's book, Dodge Power Wagons 1940-1980 Photo Archive. You can see how the back of the roof is squared off.

I think both Cantrell and Campbell made bodies for these trucks...so yours could be either.

I can send a photo of the Fargo but it will take a me couple days to find it.
