LarryH57 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) I came across this on the web; scroll down about half way to a photo taken the centre of a town in Dresden 1945 and note the dodge on the left looking more like a post war verson. There are quite a few vehicles to identify and the Zis-3 guns look as if two are being towed together! Quite an interesting photo; if a modeller set it out as it is I'd imagin that someone would say it's posed! http://wio.ru/galgrnd/zis3-2ru.htm Edited February 4, 2017 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Dodges were supplied to the Soviets. The T214 engine continued in service for many years. Be a different restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Oh I know the Soviets got thousands of Dodges but the body on the one in the photo must have been custom made, as its not like any US versions I have seen. Could in fact be a German body on a captured Dodge, as the cab looks quite 'erzatz' and if re-captured by the Soviet Army they may have thought it much more comforatable compared to the standard Dodge Weapons Carrier?

Gordon_M Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Soviet made arctic cab, and very nice too. I'd guess on an early WC 52 chassis ( it looks like it has the symmetrical headlight guards ) but could be on a WC57 or even a WC 63. As fas as I know, the WC 59, 60, and 61 trucks, which had longer wheelbases, didn't come with winches, but could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
