The Dodge WK60, one of my all time favourite trucks unfortunatly not a lot of publicity surrounded these vehicles imported to the UK as cab/chassis and then fitted out with the same british standard gantry recovery body as the Austin K6. Many were shipped out to North Africa and worked there way up through Italy others were issued to units in the UK prior to D Day, funny thing i have yet to come across aphoto of any in use in Europe following the landings. A further interesting point did they all make it across the Atlantic again never seen any records of vehicle losses on these convoys.

A couple of photos that may help Pete and David the first two are at the Dodge factory and depict how they were imported to the UK
