Steve,
I agree with Don, what you found is unusual, and may be rare, but it may not be worth as much as a pickup in the same condition to most collectors.
Please keep in mind that one off (or 20 off) bodies like that are quite complex, and take a lot of work and money to restore. Most parts must be fabricated, so doing anything back of the firewall is twice as hard as a pickup.
To figure out the year, go to the link below and look at the info on the frame number, and rim date code, either one of those might get you a year.
The Serial Number tag might be mounted to the firewall, as was done on some chassis cowl trucks.
If you can find a body tag, those change in some years and might give a good clue to the year.
Read over the pages linked below, you might learn some tidbit that will allow you to figure out the year.
By the way, you have the pictures disabled for copying, did you do that on purpose? I would be interested in copies of those pictures, as I collect pictures of interesting PWs.
Good luck, it looks like an interesting project!
Eric
