Default Dodge trucks 1940-41

I have just had a delivery of copy papers from the National Archives in London. I have waded into them but so far I have found confirmation of the diversion and purchase of parts etc for Dodge trucks...VK or WK-62 [1,500 units] and T-203 [1,500 units again]. The doubt about model i.d. is because the letter I read refers to parts for the the WK-62 but other parts for the VK-62. I wondered whether the contract was fulfilled by part VK-62 and part WK-62, or whether Dodge supplied WK-62 units having contracted for the predecessor VK-62. It would appear that Canada imported their versions from Detroit going by serial numbers. Known #s are from WK-62s by the way.

More soon!
