Default Tell him he's dreaming!

Exactly the observation that I was going to make Cliff. Despite its rarity and condition $15,000 is a big ask for something that is going to need a lot of money spent on it to make it roadworthy and useable even if largely left 'as found'. Tyres, seats, decking, engine, instruments, all need attention or replacement and who knows what else? Wiring, brakes, radiator, drop-sides & tailgate?? The location is to the east of West Wyalong so even the cost of getting it home would be substantial for most of us. Not all that far from Orange though?

Agreed Cliff... price aside it is stunning. It's surprising how few wartime Dodges (apart from the Weapons Carrier family) have been restored here in Australia.

I'd love to see this one done. The T110 D60L is in many ways the missing part of the trio of Canadian vehicles.

Keith I'd love to own it and restore it to its original army condition as like you I think it is stunning and this type of Dodge I have always had a liking for.

Same here guys; I have also always liked the looks of these trucks and also here in Europe you rarely see them on MV events. There are a few about though (some of them on MLU), but somehow interest in these trucks seems less than in other MVs (?). Maybe just due to a lack of knowledge on what they are and who built and used them???

I love the truck offered and do think the price is high for an unrestored truck, but I have to say that I have seen more trucks for sale lately with prices which seem to "optimistic".
Another problem.....the price also reduces the chance of it being bought by someone on Langs convoy.....so limits the chance I can see this truck in the flesh in Normandy, next year
