Hi every one, I have just joined.

I have a 'wide' bodied Canadian built Dodge T236 APT 1944,seems to be Feb/Mar. No bonnet cut out for snorkel.

Every other data plate except, delivery/manufacture date is present.

Is there any one out there with one, or any info on them at all?

regards Nick

Nick, I will PM or e-mail you shortly about the manuals, it seems that there's a problem with the web site that will need to be looked at. Google is reporting that it may linked to a site distributing malware (not if I can help it but....)
In the meantime, anyone wanting information on manuals for CMP or SMP trucks and equipment can PM or e-mail (canadianmanuals(at)yahoo.ca substitute the symbol for the word at) me to check if I can help.

Thank you,
Grant

Hi,
Thanks for info am following this up. Is there any other people that can help?

I beleive that there was about 2,300 'wide bodied' dodges made, but were too wide to fit into C47's and were recalled and had rear bodies narrowed, mine seems to have escaped this recall.

I cannot find another.

Hi Nick
I have 2 but I am by no means an expert on them. Mine are unrestored and the one has been rebodied with a Ford pickup. It has the original dash and data plates. I seem to remember that mine were both August 1945. I had a few boxes but have got rid of them all except the best one. Some previous owner had painted GMC on the tailgate.
Cheers,
Barry

Nearest I can find out, mine is Feb/march 1944.

( the riveted on ones)
