Howard, from what I have seen of older trucks and trailers they were much smaller, shorter and less powerful (ergo the smaller loads) back then, the big trucks came later, so I think it is safe to assume that Packard received their bodies in a similar fashion. The bodies in the picture are 1951 Chrysler convertibles. One thing to remember is that the EGB plant had limitless storage in the early 50s, and Briggs could, and should of had multiple truck/trailer rigs.
