Dodge Power Wagon in military use (was: Dodge DD4-60)

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Thanks all, never knew the Canadian Army used them. Nice to see the Australian use confirmed, too.

Interesting to see how the military Dodge WC series evolved into the civilian Power Wagon, which in turn was adopted again by the military. The US Army used them too, albeit it seems mainly in specialist roles. Out of 95,145 examples built, the US supplied 13,460 supplied to friendly nation's armies under the Military Defense Assistance Program. Another 41,304 were exported commercially, among which were quite sizeable numbers to the Dutch Army who used them in the former colonies. These trucks, along with many others, were acquired from commercial sources as there was a boycott on military materiel being supplied to the Dutch Army in the colonies. They were shipped as chassis/cowls and bodied locally - see Dodge Power Wagon in use with KNIL.
