a photo would be a good way for anyone to actually see what you are inquiring about.

welcome to the forum by the way

I'm not a Dodge expert so don't know your answer off the top of my head. Should I be looking for interior or exterior photos to try to find an answer for you?
If you were trying to include a photo to show us the puzzle, perhaps this guide on adding photos will help. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19
Your location shows as "China", is it possible that it was a piece of equipment used by the military in the China theatre or something added for use in China post-war that would have been there long enough for the shadow to fade/form in the paint (or do you mean that there is no paint where the object was located)?

Great to get your feedback and sorry I thought I had included a photo but will try again this time. Once again greatly appreciate your input. This vehicle I am told saw active service in Egypt as a convoy truck before returning to Australia. Hopefully I have the photo included now. Cheers!

I agree with Mike. The sun visor.

Welcome to MLU. Paul. You will get plenty of help here.

How about some photos of your Dodge as there are not too many being restored.

Rick.

Agree: sun visor: a military requirement in Australian vehicles, and the round base with three screws is characteristic of the s/v base mount.

However, if it was in Egypt, it must have been acquired in theatre - the AIF did not take/send Dodge vehicles to Egypt - so acquired from a British contract, perhaps? Can you tell us the story about the Egypt angle as far as you know it, please.

So are you really based in China?

Mike
