Default Good to hear, Rick

I'm waiting for the You Tube video of the engine run after rebuild, but I'll bet it sounds very similar to the 'before' run.

Let's hope we can find you a couple of rims for the spares too.

I have saved these three pics of XWD Dodge's with dual rears over the years, I would credit source but I can't remember where , always assumed they were conversions but maybe not . Except for first pic they have flotation tyres front and duals on rear so possibly these two are conversions ?

Default Mixture

There was a specific chassis / axle / transmission / wheel combination for the T110L as a dual rear, something like T110L-D with a numeral in there too. I can never remember if the dual rear trucks came with the two-speed rear axle - I think they did.

Undoubtedly some of those pics are original dual rears, and some are ordinary T110L trucks with adapted rears - can't tell from photos.

I do have this info somewhere in the T110 manual, but not here to hand.

Perhaps the first one is a genuine London tipper as the body is very similar to those fitted to wartime Fordson 7V'S

Default Dual rears

My info has it that the T-110L-S and T-110L-13 [D-60S/DD] had dual rears. I assume that the T-110L-12 with 160" w.b. [D-60L/DD] also had duals.
