How many Dodge D15 built?

[Erwin]

Good evening, gentlemen

How many Dodge D15 were built in total?
(mind : NOT how many military DODGE overall, or how many CMP overall eetc)

Just how many Dodge D15 GS and water bowser?
Any clue?

Thank you!!

From Chrysler Factory Serial Book. The columns are the start and finish numbers for each run. Looks like heaps were built. 7,974. The post war run from 1946 is not recorded because my book only goes to 1946 and production was still rolling for the general market?

Here are some images of the D15 page in Volume IV of the design record.

I think those totals include prewar and post war civilian orders. Possibly many civilian orders were produced during the war for essential services. No doubt they exceeded the military orders as they were (and still are) a very popular size truck

The 8,000 odd in the Chrysler number book look like military orders only.

Colin, Lang

THANK YOU! Cool!

So it‘s 27.000 vs 8.000 odd, right?
Any proof to either number?

Thank you SOO much, gentlemen

The 8,000 military order is as close as you will get to proof as it is in the Chrysler Corporation serial number manual as per picture above.

You must remember these were basically civilian trucks painted green coming from a very popular line that was in production for around 10 years. It is quite reasonable to suppose Colin's 27,000 grand total is accurate ie 8,000 for military orders and 19,000 for civilian and other Government department orders (including exports).
