CCKW beds do not exist in the US. The US Army got rid of CCKW's in 1956 and all
the old farmers junked them or cut them down. I bought mine France in 1989
after looking for 8 years for one here.

I used an M211/M35 body on mine for years. On the closed cab, it is a little
tough because it is 8" wider than a CCKW one.

Also, if you find a CCKW body, I made my side boards 4" taller than the
original. This allows me to use an easily available M211/35 bed tarp (8"wider).
You also must put the tarp on with the front in the back because they reversed
the position of the tiedowns between the CCKW and the M series.
