Yep, definitely a Mercedes/Dodge/Freightliner Sprinter chassis with a typical open service body. Not very rare, but less common than the standard van versions of the same.
I think there was more of a lack of competition in that market and now I see people replacing cargo vans with transit vans ext. seems like there taller and longer which equals more general usefulness.
Was in a business that needed trucks about 15 tears ago. It was a Ford 3/4 ton van of some sort or a Freightliner if you needed something larger. Some different options were needed.
