Well the drivers door is the same as my '42 Ford door - maybe they grafted it onto a GMC cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is it a home built Bitsa, or was Dodge trying to use parts and develop a civillian version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Nogson Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is it a home built Bitsa, or was Dodge trying to use parts and develop a civillian version? It's a 1952 Dodge M37 , with a wartime GMC CCKW cab grafted on by the previous owner to keep out the Brittany weather , he used it as a recovery truck for 30 years but we had to remove the crane to get it under 2.5 tons on the trailer. Next question ..... What to do with it , swap back a M37 body or get it rolling as Frankentruck ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
