Maybe the U.S. Potash made a whole new steel body to go on the frame. After all they replaced all (at least 2 out of 3) of their tenders with completely welded tanks.

The DV caboose was built by Pacific Car & Foundry and the plans of the car seems to indicate that the basic frame was taken from the design of logging cars that they built. It appears to be a centersill with the body added on top of it.
