Thank you for all your comments!!!!
 I've do a lot of work @BCBlitz: to clean from paint I spent a lot of time using wire wheels and sanpaper.I spent hundred euros of it  but is cheaper than sandblastingThan, after repair the boby, I painted all with a regular zinc primer.Only for some parts I used, before painting, a rust stopper....expecially for particular outline parts. Don't worry...send me your CMP and I'll see what I can do @NORTH-SHORE: Canadian Dodge is a little bit rare: probably Chrysler made only 12k-18k units...certainly less than US version... @Bob Carriere: my next project??? GMC CCKW 353, closed cab with hole for the browning   @benbfkt: I guess also for a unit staying in europe in 45-46.Could you give me more informations? Web sites where I can find photos or any infos about these kind of units an their markings? I'll appreciate very much... CIAO Robbby

Thanks robbby for your help with my questions also what brand and shade of paint did you use ?, hand bonb spray or what did you use to apply it ?
Looks like WWII Khaki brown OD to me.

Markings
Hi Robbby,
Great job on the restoration.I restored a Canadian Dodge M37 with just an angle grinder and a 50 grit sanding disk.There were 11 coats of army paint on it and was alot of work to strip.Gives the arms a good workout! I have a couple of pictures of a Canadian Dodge APT in Saskatchewan that had a couple of original markings on it as it was still unrestored at the time.It has been so long I can't remember who even owned it at the time.Anyways,there was an "S" painted on the right side of the tub which meant (anyone correct me if I am wrong) suppressed.That meant the vehicle was grounded for wireless radio set installation.The communication collectors should be able to verify this or add to it.The other marking was a water transfer decal that is a lend lease marking.It is very faded but is just in front of the "S" marking on the hood of the vehicle.It is round in shape and I will include an image of one so you can scan and possibly copy into a water decal and add to your vehicle.This is the only lend lease decal I think Canada had so if it is the wrong image,could somebody correct me please.As far as the size of the decal,somebody can add to this thread or you will have to look at the picture and estimate it's size.Hope this has been some help to you.Again,Great job. Regards,Derk.

Hi Robby
I was pleased to see these photos of your wonderful restoration . I had seen them a couple of weeks ago on an Italian site but of course I couldn't reply. You have done an amazing job on one of my favourite vehicles. I have 2 of them but sadly they are now for sale. I am realizing in my advancing years I won't get everything restored.  I was in Italy two years ago and regret I didn't know of you then.How far are you from L'aquila? (Abruzzo)? Cheers, Barry
