Just a frame now, working on the 237 engine. It appears it may have been replaced in the mid fifties. Can't find a serial number on the engine unless I'm looking in the wrong place, found a number stamped in the cylinder head 1072812 under the oil filter bracket and the only other stamp I found are 5 single letters stamped along the left side block one letter in each raised casting protrusion. Letters are C,C,B maybe R, C and D.


Chassis S/N 91166298
Stamped on frame next to Chassis S/N is T236-7476-C

Dash plate reads the same plus:

D3/4 WP/APT
S/M 6423
Date of Manufacture-June 29, 1945

the serial # of the engine should be on a pad on the drivers side of the engine behind the water pump just below the head and should have T236 stamped into it like the picture from the flathead six website.

Hi all, thanks for pictures. Does anybody know where is possible to buy copy of manual and part list of APT? I asked Mr. Bowker from this forum, but no answer.


To Frank: Dodge APT owner is Peter's son Tom. His APT is very early, I think only 44'th produced (S/N 91 151 326). It has chassis rebuilded from american origin and fabricaly converted to Canadian version.

To servicepub: I think two lowest photos are American WC-52 and prototype of WC-62. See the first version of petrol tank cap and long and high front part of body. Only prototype of WC-62 had small petrol tank cap, serial production had bigger one.

Grant Bowker has had recurring crashes on his computer and is currently setting up a new system ...... Not sure if he is back on line but will let him know by telephone of your interest in a manual.

Thanks Bob for answer and help. Frank I was in Asnelles camp Normandy 2004 with Peter, too. I ask Tom if he is interested in waterproof manual. His car is early version, so originaly no waterproof.

I would be interested in an APT Service manual also, a copy would also work. Was there a parts manual done for the APT's?

A couple more pics of I think another APT in the Canadian prairies, i can't remember where these came from.
