Default Airborne Dodge 3/4 ton

Have recently got copies of war diary for british airborne A/tk batteries for operation varsity, plus copies of loading lists of gliders.
In both it states about the 17pdr tow being a dodge 3/4 not the standard morris C8.

Can anyone send me details of any changes or modifications to make it fit a glider if any or any other information would be very helpful.

Pictures even better.

Default Airportable Tractors

If this was the case then the answer lies in the filing cabinets in the Airborne Forces Museum at Aldershot. A film/movie is available on cassette of Morris tractors at least being loaded, etc. and I have now seen photos of MCC tractors being loaded into Hamilcars, as well as the C15TA I mentioned before. When I go to the museum shortly I will check the files on Dodge trucks.
