Are you 100% sure it's not a military vehicle?

I'm pretty sure it isn't . . . seller also states the bodywork is post-war. Still a great looking truck, would be a shame to wreck it for parts. . . . Bob where are you!

Default Not military

Just at a glance;

eight lug, non-British pattern wheels
no tow hooks
civilian front bumper

I'd guess that must have been one of the first chassis / cowls made post WW2 then, as that model went out in 1947.

Default No

As I understand it all the T110L were delivered as cargo body or dump bed. There were variations in chassis length, single or dual wheel, single or two speed rear axle, stuff like that.

No water tankers, van bodies, ambulances, or other variants. I don't even recall post war conversions.

Of course the army might have swapped any suitable 3 ton truck body onto that chassis, and probably did, but I've never seen evidence of it being done once, much less any real quantity.

Anyone know to the contrary?

Here is a range of different bodies on the Dodge chassis. Mainly British or Australian

There you go then

1 and 5 look home made, 4 is a proper coach built job and 2 looks like a transplant from a standard 3 ton. All could be T110L or T222 based if short enough

Number 3 is really rare in that it is an export chassis cowl bodied with Australian or Indian pattern locally built body. It isn't a T110L though

That one is not a Dodge but a lend-lease Chev. Who didn't look closely at the photo??
