But as the war progressed an open cab version was designed that had fixed "half doors" and a canvas top / sides, with the steel bed being replaced by a wooden one to conserve steel. The wood bed proved unsatisfactory and a "composite" bed with steel sides and framing but with wooden slats for the bed was developed .
