What truck is this?

Post by Ken J »

Hi All:

I have found in the box-o-parts acquired with my supposed WC-1 two cab data plates: one is a Dodge Bros. plate with the markings "Serial No. 9275117" with "Model VF - /(7?)32" and "Max Gross Weight Except as Restricted by Tires and Springs 13,500 LBS"; the other has the following numbers: "4022-2951".

So, what model was this cab built for and what approximate year was it? Finally, anyone have a picture of the model?

THANKS

I don't have my Dodge notes handy but it was the civvy bodied truck pre and early war if military. 1940 truck about 1 1/2 ton I think with most likely a normal closed cab, 4022 = 1940 but the 22 I'm not sure of as a closed cab would be a 12 or 62.
