And now I get told off on from the forum for going too far off topic, but it had to be done...
Not even sure if its a Dodge, but it sure catches the eye. I think its from Mad Max Movie?

Not a Photo of a D15, but I thought I'd share this photo of my Grandfather's RASC unit war diary in Italy 1944. Its an audit of the company vehicles including chassis number , WD number and contract number.
If anyone ever comes across any of those chassis numbered vehicles, do let me know...

Oh and I included another photo of one of my favourite standing orders from the company war diaries. Fishing with hand grenades...

"Restoring a WWII Canadian Dodge D15 of the Royal Army Service Corps - A family’s generational love for those curves lead them to revive a WW2 Truck like the one their grandfather drove.
Simon Balding’s grandfather had been a Sergeant in the British Army during WWII. Of the many stories Sgt. Balding told to his grandson were a few of his “favorite” truck — a Dodge D15. Simon decided he would find his grandfather’s truck."
