Default Dodge postwar

I am sure that this Dodge tipper is ex-military...any ideas on model number please? I think it's a D-60S 3-ton T-110-L-6 4X2 TIPPING.

The Bedford is either an OY or the civillian equivalent OW my money is on OY as it has single military tyres The Austin is most likely a K4 but a number of civillian K3s were delivered 1938/9 and there is a long shot it is a long wheelbase K2 But mosrt likely is a K4.

Default Bedford OY, Dodge D60

The Dodge is a T110L series, must be a D60S with added dual rears I think.

Default Thanks

I reckoned that the Dodge (operated by a company in Derby) was a D60S as you can see. However, there were a number of US Dodges supplied direct to the London County Council in 1941 specifically for bomb clearance work. hese had to be paid for in precious US$. The Bedford I thought was an OY of some sort and the Austin a wartime K4 with the early grille but I gather the number of wheelnuts can determine if it is a K2 or K4.
