Looks like it may be a replacement using the 1.5ton Chev (Yankee Joe) rear tipper body.

That's a standard Budd style dump body. Hoist was normally Heil or Hercules. The length of it means the standard toolbox across the back of the cab has gone too.

Unlike cargo trucks, dump truck tended to keep their bodies, so I'd guess that one has been on there for a good while.

We also have a Canadian Dodge like that:





Also not so famiilar with this trucks, maybe someone knows the excat type designation?

The red one looks like a standard T110L code D60L light duty 3 ton ( British used them as 3 ton trucks, but the Canadians and Americans had designations for light duty and heavy duty - that one is light )

Tell me about the green truck though. That looks like a 4 x 4 with Timken front axle and 20" wheels, which would commonly be found only on a US T203 1.5 ton series VF, but the front sheetmetal doesn't match that as it is a 'W' code front.
