1942? Dodge

[Howard]

In an upcoming clearing sale at Wagga Wagga the following truck is one of the many items up for grabs. There are many trucks, tractors & farm machinery, but as far as I can see, this is the only ex-military vehicle.
I know the owner through business dealings, and it was he who told me this truck was ex-military. I could not see any sign of military markings, and paint under the bonnet was light blue.
Military or not, this truck is a beauty (If you are into Dodges, that is) and has a Diesel motor. The owner is of the impression that this fact makes it quite rare in Aus.
Sorry about the quality of the photos, they were taken with a mobile phone.
I do not have any financial interest in the sale of this vehicle.
