Default Dodge D60

Hello,

I found another Dodge D60 for sale. The seller says it is a D60 and I got pictures of the cabine with the military dashboard. so a military truck it is.
I have some doubts about the cargo bed. is this an original cargo bed for a military Dodge d60 ?
Thanks for your help.

Difficult to tell.

It's a right hand drive three ton 41-45 Dodge, presumably Canadian. Headlights are wrong, or at least in the wrong place. Towel rail bar missing at the front.

Body looks like a standard Budd cargo body appropriate for the wheelbase, but I'd expect a wooden body - might be original, might be a transplant from a CCKW

Images are really too small to say much more.

Default Dodge d60l12

Hello

The pics show enough informations to tell that the truck is an ex CANADIAN DODGE D60L12. Why ?
1/ the truck is right hand drive and at the bottom of the fender we can see the little hole for the specific canadian light missing (shape of a pipe).
2/ inside the cab we can see the shift used to set the little speed in the rear EATON differential so L12 instead L9 which own a single rear speed axle

unhappyly the body is not an original body maybe coming from a GMC CCKW353

Best regards serge

thank you for the information. it confirms my idea about the truck. I think it is a good truck but missing the right bed.
I got more pictures from the seller.
the man has two trucks for sale in one offer. One d60 and 1 T110 for a good price of 3500 €. trucks have all the paperwork.
If someone likes a Dodge D60, I think this is the right occasion.
Trucks are located in France in Orléans.

The body is definitely not off a CCKW. It's quite different in many ways.
