Canadian Dodge CMP prototype photo

Well, if we take that prototype, and subtract the rear body, toolbox, and wheels as ordinary CMP stuff.

The front axle, rear axle, engine, transmission, suspension and drivetrain could all be standard off-the-shelf T222 series from the ordinary D-15, the most would need to do would be to make a specific length of driveshaft from the transmission to back axle.

That lot aside, you are left with the steering column, chassis, cab, and drivers controls. I suspect the chassis was made specially, and the steering colum and controls would be modified civilian stuff.

The image shows a square roof hatch - anyone tell me if the cab features are identifiably early, late, Ford, Chev ?

Yes, that's why I said "Could it be a Ford (note the cab) 15-cwt with a Dodge badge stuck on it".
Colin's picture is too grainy, but I cannot see the "FORD" or "FORD CANADA" stamped under the headlights, typical for later Ford cabs.
