Super Gup was a modified B-29/B-50 conversion.
Amazing how that wing could fly! Once they fixed the engines....)

I thought it was a modified variant of the Boeing Stratocruiser/ KC-97 aircraft.

A stratoliner modification, which was a B-29/50 developmental follow on.
Essentially same wings and empennage as the bombers, I don't remember if they used the same engines but doubt it.
Look for the indentation down the sides - it was a double decker as a PAX hauler.
(Also KC-97 tanker developed from same airframe)
