Hiya,
Thought you might be interested in seeing some (partial) views of this D60 that is undergoing pretty radical surgery at the moment. The nice thing about it is that under the coat of (Italian) army paint out popped it's original brown! By the way, does ANYBODY HAVE A L.H. DOOR? I feel a bit sick at having to rebuild what's left of this one

[Stefano Ruggeri]

Here's one in civilian "garb" in early fifties Italy.....

Here are a couple of the 3 ton tippers based on the short wheelbase chassis

morning all
couldn,t resist this one. how the best presented restoration should be preserved, the lads seem to be proud of it

[Les Freathy]

Has this thread run out of steam or did the last photo frighten everyone heres some more shot to bring it back to life

[Alex van de Wetering]

Hi Guys,

@ Les. What a great collection of pictures you have! Each day I am looking forward to your new pictures! I also enjoyed the pictures in the last Military machines magazine!

@ Stefano. I know you probably prefer a genuine D15 or D60 door. But It might also be interesting to search for a Dodge WC54 Abulance door. Allthough this is not exactly the same, it should be quite similar and probably easier to find than a "D" door. Maybe you could use some of this ambulance door to restore the original door. Just a thought.

Her is two from the Polish Institute & Sikorski Museum of London. Both show different body styles to normal.

The first a radio truck and the second a fuel or water truck. Still trying to decide which one it is.

Cheers

Late answer, Les, haven´t followed the thread for two months.

My Dodge is a D-15.(See the very good page at http://www.old-dodge-trucks.co.uk. The frame has been lenghthened by its only civil post-war owner, a blacksmith.
It will be reset to original length.
Nice pictures you´ve posted, Les.
Do you still have any RAF or RAAF Dodge D-15 pictures left?

By the way: does anybody have a tool box with spare tire holder for sale?
Snowy greetings, Erwin

That D 60 is near Leeds, but has been stood for so long in the rain that areas of the cab are really, erm, tired.

It would save, but a lot of work.

Yes ... I see what you mean. Who needs a glove box anyway?

Bonjour Serge,

Bienvenue to this forum!

Very nice D60 you have there. Could you post a few more pictures?

Thanks,
Hanno

James, thanks for your pictures!

The D60 looks like an ex-Canadian Army truck, in civilian service shortly after WW2.

A mystery hole (for some body). On each dash board of T110 D60 L, there is a circular hole between the tank level indicator switch and the left of the dash board. When these trucks were delivered in AFRICA or EUROPEAN theater , this hole was closed using a circular platic part. When these trucks were delivered to russian army, this hole was used to insert a fuel pump (in the same manner as DODGE D3 APT). The aim of this devise was to increase the quantity of fuel into intake collector to start the engine when the temperature was very low.

Hi

After the read of all information about Canadian DODGE D60 and D15, I am thinking that you were able to help me in the research of the story of my T110 D60 L5 (picture above)

During the restoration phases, I had founded some identification plates which were covered by a coat of paint (olive drab then grey). Nevertheless upon two of them some data are readable (because stamped)

On the larger plate we read

D60420C
20
91095980 I thing that it is it’s serial number
T110 L-708010
SM6086 (Contract number)
12 1 44 may be delivery date

on the other plate

DRIVER HAND BOOK D60L HB1
MAINTENANCE MANUAL C 420 D2
XXXXXXXX LIST WM 3940

Following these data, is a guy who can determine a bit of my truck story?
Regards Serge LEVY

I have just been looking on another forum and a contributor has posted a couple of pictures of Dodge D15s.
The pictures can be found on the WW2dodge.com Forum. Select Dodge Forum and when the list of threads come up select the one titled Canadian Dodge D15 in British Service. Clicking on one of the pictures will take you to photobucket where there are 11 photos including one of a Chev and another that shows a Bedford being refueled from drums.
These pictures may be familiar to some but I have not seen them before.
