is it D60 or D15 also having welded round patch ..

2 The second one which with silver paint painted on the logo is another from a government auction

3.The third one is a video of a D15 " https://youtu.be/2Dzuu02SLFA "

Davistine,

Great to see these old Dodges survive in India! Could it be that the truck in pictures 1,2 and 3 are one and the same? It looks like the markings on the bumper and damage to the grill match up(?).
Judging from the rear body and frame in the front of the body I presume this truck is a D60L.

Alex

Davistine,

is it a D15
I don't see any remains of the front marker lights in the face of the front fenders. Also, it has the fancy Dodge rear fenders which were not used on D15's. My guess is that it's a 1940 Dodge civilian pickup.
I can't see from the video.....is it Right hand drive?

Aren't those air vents on the front fenders just decorative stamped ribs?
