Dodge D15

[Ron Pier]

Is there any sort of register or chassis number data for Dodge D15's?

Canadian Dodges are poorly supported.

Maple Leaf Up and the WW2 Dodge Forum for general stuff, but all I know about the T222 series is it started off basic and got even more basic, only came in two flavours, cargo and water tank, and the majority of them got run into the ground post WW2 as ( relatively ) economic 4 x 2 trucks.

Serial number ranges will be on the manuals, and I do know that Build Cards are NOT available for Canadian trucks.

Thanks Gordon. I've got this tipper to inspect for DVLA registration. I just have to check the numbers and it should easily be eligible for an age related number, someone else will have to decide if it's military or not. Ron

.... if a picture is worth a thousand.

That's not a D15, for a start.

Easy enough though. D60S short wheelbase T110L code tipper ( none of that fancy 'dump' stuff here )

Same cab, same 236 cu in engine as a D15 though it should have a T110-xxxxx code on the cylinder block rather than the T222-xxxxx that would be on a D15.

Chassis rails deeper and thicker, suspension and so on suitably heavier, PTO drive to hydraulics. I'd be surprised if that wasn't all original, only easy item to swap would be the engine. 1941-45 only, military only - note the tow hooks and interchangeable British-pattern wheels. That chassis number will be in the range on the T110L series military manuals and parts lists. I will have it listed somewhere but I'm in Aberdeen and my paperwork is in Falkirk. Feel free to ask again if you meet official resistance, as it were.

There were civilian code T110 trucks, but they were left hand drive only and I've only ever seen one outside the US.

That's fantastic Gordon. I'm trying to help the owner out and will certainly pass on this information. Much appreciated, Ron

Nice truck, unusual to see an intact survivor as most of them were worked into the ground.

I should have most other info you would need but won't have access to it for a while. Let me know the chassis number when you inspect - and check the cab plate matches the chassis stamping too
