Dodge APT speedometer detail

[BCA]

I recently saw a very original, unrestored Dodge D3/4APT, dated July 1945. The speedometer does not have a tripmeter, just the odometer. Otherwise it is a typical-looking military speedometer: luminous needle etc. The line drawings in the maintenance manual and driver's handbook show a tripmeter and the part number, CC 923860, is the same as the American WC-series trucks which had a tripmeter. Any comments from other APT owners to suggest that maybe some or all APT's had speedometers which did not have a tripmeter. ......... Brian

I just looked at all the Dodge APT pictures I have taken over the years (around 5) and none of them have the trip odometer in them, Hope that helps.

Dave, thank you for you comments. 2 later APT that I have seen have no tripmeter. My early APT has a tripmeter. I have found numerous of the non-tripmeter speedometers as surplus and always wondered what they were used for. Maybe this is the answer.
You or other APT owners may wish to share info on your serial numbers, body tags, engine numbers etc with Kjell Hansen in Norway who has spent several years researching APT Dodges. PM me for his contact information and help him to do the best possible job in documenting the APT story.... Brian
