Dodge D15

[Alex van de Wetering]

Such a lovely truck, but I have to ask about the tipper body......was it replaced at some stage, or strengthened? To me it looks different from the normal 4F pattern dump/tipper body.

Ron, please keep us updated on the progress and the plans of the owner. Love to see some more MCP Dodges on the forum.

Hi Alex. It's out of my hands now. The owner was going to send me a link to a video of the trucks last film roll (carrying grapes) but I haven't received it yet. I'll post it when it comes. Ron

Looks like it may be a replacement using the 1.5ton Chev (Yankee Joe) rear tipper body.

That's a standard Budd style dump body. Hoist was normally Heil or Hercules. The length of it means the standard toolbox across the back of the cab has gone too.

Unlike cargo trucks, dump truck tended to keep their bodies, so I'd guess that one has been on there for a good while.

We also have a Canadian Dodge like that:





Also not so famiilar with this trucks, maybe someone knows the excat type designation?

The red one looks like a standard T110L code D60L light duty 3 ton ( British used them as 3 ton trucks, but the Canadians and Americans had designations for light duty and heavy duty - that one is light )

Tell me about the green truck though. That looks like a 4 x 4 with Timken front axle and 20" wheels, which would commonly be found only on a US T203 1.5 ton series VF, but the front sheetmetal doesn't match that as it is a 'W' code front.
