Dodge 15-cwt or 3-ton swb?

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

The DD2 was originally a 1940 Model US De Soto Model, in three wheelbases including -120 and -133 wheelbase variants, Model T-97-, but the Canadian DD2 was 1942 onwards...then became the T-116-120 or -133. So, were these rehashes of 1940 chassis with 1941-on front ends ....and then were they in fact built in Detroit FOR Canada/Windsor? Note that they were not listed in the Candian Government order listings so were a regular commercial model in theory. Some credence for this is is that the US model was the WD, Model T-116-120 or -130! This was a 1941-45 Model not 1942...so as we had with the British order trucks this could be a US-build for Canada, railed across the Detroit River.
