Default Basically, not that I know of....

You hesitate to say 'never' but that's pretty close.

Dodge production was all light truck, half ton to three ton, but the vast majority was 1/2, 3/4, 1.5 ton in the US and up to 3 ton 4 x 2 in Canada.
That batch David quotes was two thousand trucks, and any 4 x 4, 3 ton produced at that rate would have been mentioned somewhere else before now.

Intersting possibilities that might apply to the discussion;

The WK60, a 3 ton 6 x 4 Welles-Thornton conversion, which must have made about that quantity.

Any prototype CMP Dodge D60 that were made. Colin has one photograph of a conventional CMP 13 cab made by Dodge, so no reason why any prototypes couldn't have included a Dodge version of the C60 / F60, but if they did they didn't make it into production quantities.

Dodge three tonners came as heavy or light 4 x 2 configuration, with Canadian D60 T110L series being much lighter trucks with 236 cu in engine, and the early war VK60 series heavy duty US built with 331 cu in engine like the later Burma Dodges. I've not seen any front axles that would support a 3 ton Dodge 4 x 4 as either heavy or light configuration though, just 4 x 2.
