Nice site..
I went through the differences between the Canadian and American Dodges and you did a great job..You may want to add that the Canadian Dodge 3/4 APT stood for 3/4 Ton air Portable as it was smaller and narrower and was designed to fit in the Horsa gliders and was made that way to go in the gliders..hence"Air portable"..and had a 98" wheel base..
And you are right..they were designed to be wade proof as the maintenance manual states.


The Maintenance and parts manuals are available from Grant Bowker on MLU forum by PM..
