Default Can anyone Identify this vehicle?

I found this photo while putting together a remembrance day album for my son.
My father is pictured here on the right wearing the beret.
Can anyone tell me what vehicle this is?

Default No Mr Hup

There is a big difference between the WC Dodges, and the M37.
The War time Dodges were pretty, the M37's were pretty ugly! The design team did well under pressure during the war, but postwar it sucked by comparison. They must have lost the good guys to Ford or GM. As far as asthetics goes its hard to beat a Dodge command car!

Hi. it is absolutly not a WC 52, but a Canadian Dodge APT 3/4 ton. The cargo bed is smaller then the WC 52 and you just can see the gap in the hood for the deep water fording kit.
