Canada Manufacture 1942 3 ton Dodge Truck T110-L-5

[Paul Westbrook]

Dear Sirs, I am deeply indebted to all of you gentlemen for this information as it is absolutely stunning to find out so much. Even though this truck is in pretty good shape I am still going to have to spend a fair amount of time and money on it to get it back to its original glory, so might as well get it right from the beginning.
One more question if I may, note the shadow on the firewall below and to the left of the regulator. I have noticed this is the same on other trucks I have seen of this vintage which also had the same brackets poorly welded to the firewall as though something was done in the field.
I thought maybe Cyclonic air filter but is a long way from the carby, a bracket for spare oil can maybe? There are no other holes in the firewall nearby.
As always most interested and grateful for your input.
