Rebuild assistance
Jason:
As what is now called, Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS), the Dodge will be easy to rebuild. With the VIN and other factory information, you will be able to determine the accessories and interior. As I recall it was a vinyl bench seat with a cut-out for the shifters. And a very basic 4x4 set at that. Front locking hubs painted over but still shiney underneath.
The tarp was canvas (as I recall) on a 5/8" steel tube frame. The examples already posted will give you the idea. It probably had oak slat bench seats the full length down each side. Whether there were seat belts is anyone's guess!
I have one memory of the Sherbrooke Hussars' Dodge One-Ton, and that is the smell of clutch plates as it towed a broken down M38A1 Jeep back into the drill hall. It is a 90-deg turn uphill across traffic into a narrow double door. (Google Streetview does not do the slope and sharpness any justice.)
