I agree....I can just JUST make out "Forest Products Corporation" on the door in one of the photos....possibly a fire truck for a logging operation?

Can anyone recommend a source that would tell me what agency issued this license plate? I think it's WWII, but I don't even know whether it is military or not:
US Government
MC 173
Unfortunately, I don't have a photo (yet). Sorry if this is the wrong forum; I'm new to this.

TRUCK IS IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION. RUNS AND DRIVES.ENGINE RUNS GREAT BUT THERE IS SOME SMOKE FROM EXHAUST WITCH SEEMS TO BE FUEL BUT DOES NOT EFFECT THE RUNNING OF THE TRUCK.INTERIOR BENCH SEAT IS IN NEED OF REPAIR DUE TO UPLOSTRY BEING RIPPED,CURRENTLY BEING COVER WITH CLOTH. PUMP AND PUMP MOTOR RUN EXCELLENT.

THIS TRUCK WAS USED FOR OFF ROAD BRUSH FIRE OPERATIONS.THE TRUCK IS BEING SOLD DUE TO THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF WOODED AREAS CURRENTLY IN THE FIRE DISTRICT WHICH THIS VEHICLE IS TO BIG FOR.

DUE TO VEHICLE BEING IN THE FIRE SERVICE, THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN REGISTERED ,THEREFOR WE DO NOT HOLD A TITLE. WE HAVE ALL NECESSARY PAPERWORK TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP TO OBTAIN TITLE
