You're picture didn't work for me. Could you try posting it again? I'm very curious to know what plane you're talking about.
My guess is a Fleet Fort.

I can't see the pic either, but I would guess a Bristol Freighter.

From the picture of an empty box, it is clearly a Fairey Albacore. 6 were delivered in 1943 to the RCAF, who then threw away the airplanes so they could sell the boxes they came in.

I'm going with the Fairchild Super 71 - kinda looks strange as a warbird.

I vote for a "Boxcar" probably 436 squadron.

Image works fine here. It is a Bristol Freighter. Not the prettiest airplane that ever flew, but certainly far from the ugliest! 
It has radial engines, so ya gotta love it! 
Cheers!

Still not working for me. But I agree not the prettiest bird, but quirky! The RCAF used six of them in Europr to transport disassembled aircraft for maintenance.
