Hanno,

That's a good lead, thanks, I'll try to get hold of a copy.

These trucks did come with a two-speed rear axle, but I think the two-speed axles were limited to those variants that had dual rear wheels.

Since the truck in the photo has single rear wheels I'd expect it to have a single speed rear axle, plus things like a transmission-mounted tyre pump.

I am miffed that I can't find the census number in my listing! The only gap that I have in the D-60-L series is those supplied under Demand SM 2891. I have no info on number runs.

edit - wrong again, the dual rear wheel trucks had the single speed rear axle - exactly the reverse of what I thought.

Hello

About the kind of DODGE some own one speed rear axle and other two speeds rear axle.

DODGE D60 L4 : long wheel base , dual wheels at the rear with two speeds at rear axle and special body with steel storage. Side of body made of steel.

DODGE D60 L5 long wheel base , single wheel at the rear and always two speeds and common body.

DODGE D60 L9 : long wheel base , dual wheels at the rear with single speed at raer axle and common body.

DODGE D60 L12 long wheel base ,dual wheels at the rear with two speeds at rear axle and common body

DODGE D60 L14 long wheel base , dual rear wheels single speed at the rear but only for civilian use.

In any case fot L5, L9, L12 there was three kinds of body : steel body, and two kinds of composite body (wood and steel

My only question is about short wheel base . All of them own a DUMP and all trucks I saw belonged two speeds rear axle bit but some have single wheel at the rear axle and other two wheels. DODGE D60 L13 for DODGE with two rear wheels biut what denimination the the dump with single rear wheel?????

Nothing productive to add to the conversation, just to note my fascination at the interest and information stirred up by a simple question

Thanks guys, I'm learning a lot.
