Dodge Power Wagon in military use (was: Dodge DD4-60)

[gordon]

LWB DD60.

It certainly doesn't look like a long wheelbase truck.

In military designations the '60' was the load capacity in cwt, so a '60' was a 3 ton.

Civilian designations used the number to identify the wheelbase - not sure what '60' was though.


One question I'd like answered, the image right up top is the cab door hinge plate, but does the number on it actually match the number on the front left chassis rail? If it doesn't this could be a WW2 chassis with later cab, which might explain some things.
