To state the obvious: International Harvester R-Series base. Probably the R-140 or R-160, all-wheel drive. Going with the R-140.

Found a similar body on an older model. Is it by Sørholtes Verksted Karosserifabrik?

The source is down at the moment to check, but I will guess it's the right one. Year of production: 1955, year of conversion: 1956.
