1974 Dodge D200 5/4 ton

[Jason Ginn]

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help identify the original configuration for a truck I found recently.

The truck is an ex DND 1974 Dodge D200 4x4 with a manual transmission. The truck was painted olive drab and has patches of brush painted green on it as well.

There is evidence of a DND whoopie light on the roof and a large plate betwee the rear frame rails that once held a pintle hitch and trailer plug.

The truck was first registered in 1981 in Ottawa so it had a relatively short DND career.


I have seen one picture of a similar truck on the net that Ed Storey took but that is about it. That pic was taken from the front so I have no idea what the rear was configured for.

Basically I was wondering what these trucks were used for in Camoflage and why and how many were bought?

Thanks! J

I'll try and get pics up but I don't have a home computer and the forum hates I phones lol.
