    This subject of van bodies has been covered before on EWILLYS, but I don't recall seeing this body style or brand name, Thrift-T-Van. Did a quick search for the brand name and came up with nothing. Looks very similar to the Ford, "VANETE" body style of the same era.

      Mike, In my brief searches I got nowhere as well. Maybe it is a delivery van FOR Kaiser-Willys rather than MADE-BY Kaiser-Willys. - Dave
