Dodge D60S and D60L

Niek and Erick Baecke are looking at two Dodge D60 T110l trucks with a view to rebuilding one out of the two. ( I don't have images stored on this PC unfortunately )

They sent me some info, copied below, can anyone tell us something about the S/M details - David ?

I'll be pointing them at this thread too.

Hi Gordon,
we went to look at the Dodge, it looks pretty solid and orignal, the only downside of the deal is that we also have to take the green one which is a long chassis with a post war bed but good for parts.
i found the contract number on the ID plate, could you check it for me please?

S/M 2885
the date of manufacture is 12-10-1943
the engine and body are still the original, the body also has a tag and the engine is a T110L

Regards,
Niek and Eric

Hi Gordon,
here attached you can find the data plates of my D60L5, they report S/M 2668. This Dodge is dated Jan,5,1943 and has a General Service cargo bed.
I suppose this vehicle served the British 8th army in Italy.
I hope this can help.

I'm hoping David Hayward will chip in here and may give us numbers for both these S/M references.

Here's a 1945 T-110-L with 13389 miles on the clock. It's offered for sale for parts. . . .

This is a picture of my old D 100L, when I bought it came with a US style wooden cargo body. The owner said it was bought from the army sales like that by a vegetable merchant. I thought originally it might have been a re bodied tipper, but it had a single speed rear axle and no visible signs of a removed PTO or any control levers.

That's a D60L/D, ( for dual rears ) one of the less common variants, designed for over-the-road cargo transport, and I seem to remember it had a different wheel / tyre / type / size as the standard British wheels on the others wouldn't dual up.

I'm sure I saw that truck at Glamis many years back?
