Default Thanks David,

it's this section that looks to be of interest;

There is also a 1940-41 1-Ton T-116: CANADIAN DODGE DC2-20 T-116-120 120” w.b. and DC2-33 T-116-33 T-116-133 Serials # 8916601 to 8918281

I didn't grasp that it only covered 1680 trucks, but there you go. It was the split between T-116-120 ( have to be pickups ) and T-116-133 ( panel or pickup ) that would have told me what I needed to know.

However the fact that all the census numbers you have were for use as ambulances suggest that all the ones used outside Canada may well have been 133" panel ambulances.

regards

Gordon

1941 Dodge Military Trucks Press Photo.

Food Carried to Paris in US Trucks Driven by French.

Frenchmen drive U.S. trucks into a pool area just after they were unloaded from ships which brought them under lend-lease from England. The trucks will be loaded with food at the Normandy beaches and will then travel in convoys to Paris.

Davistine,

Great to see these old Dodges survive in India! Could it be that the truck in pictures 1,2 and 3 are one and the same? It looks like the markings on the bumper and damage to the grill match up(?).
Judging from the rear body and frame in the front of the body I presume this truck is a D60L.

Alex

Davistine,

is it a D15
I don't see any remains of the front marker lights in the face of the front fenders. Also, it has the fancy Dodge rear fenders which were not used on D15's. My guess is that it's a 1940 Dodge civilian pickup.
I can't see from the video.....is it Right hand drive?

Aren't those air vents on the front fenders just decorative stamped ribs?
