Introduction and Dodge truck question

[Gerard van den Blink]

Thanks for your reactions,
The truck is left hand drive and has a civillian dasboard.
If i look in the Model chart and serial number guide,
The serial number correspondes with the trucks built for the canadian government, in that list its a model T110 L 14 3 ton truck made from '41-'45.
But if search for T110 L7 in the engineering code then its a DD-6S but then the load rating and the serial numbers doen't match.
On the side of the cabin is also painted the weight and load capacity, it is allowed to carry 4 metric tonnes.
Mayby as mentioned it's a mix of 2 types ( dont know how the accurate the factory was during wartime with numbers)
Also was i wandering where the 5105 C in the chassis number stand for, just a number or related to type.

The headlights are indeed relocated.

Engine and gearbox are sold by the previous owner, he planned to mount a cummins diesel.
I'm thinking of mounting a 318cu dodge engine with a 5 speed manual. the engine is a spare from my W200, lying idle in a corner.

Gerard,

One question is whether the chassis plate and the cab belong together with the current chassis.

My guess is that they don't: this chassis number's pattern (ending with a C) is to be found with some Israeli T110s, and may have been allocated post-war.

The VIN itself (9---25450) is not included in the 1953 Chrysler serial numbers guide. However, if judged by adjacent sequences, it may have been produced in 1944-45. This also fits with the quite high cab number (Model 41-12, #15237).

The vin number matches to trucks for the canadian government. i'm still not sure how to interprete the chassis number. It can be that the cab is replaced, but that would be many years ago.
The paperwork of the truck is gone, i have to get a new licence plate and papers for holland. That will not be a big problem, but it would be nice if the data would meet the facts.
And it's also nice to know a bit more about the truck

Thanks for the information. Still hoping that the vehicle papers will show up.
But i now have some leads.
Maybe somebody in the future may have the precise data.

I managed to get the serial number of the engine:

It is: T110 L7 9960 C

aybe somebody can pinpoint a fabrication dat or type. Or can give me a hint where to find data.

thanks,
Gerard
