Nick T236 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi folks! Here we go,I have a Canadian Dodge T236 WC 52,I think,Feb/March, 1944. It is an early 'Wide Bodied' version,6ft 11 1/8" wide,no cut out in the side of the bonnet. It has evidence of having had a snorkel retro fitted, and the removed at some point. I have all data plates,except,of course the delivery date plate. I have looked at a lot of T236 sights, but would like to learn more, correct bonnet numbers etc. Having just completed a trouble free Normandy tour, I would appreciate any help or web sight addresses to establish date of manufacture, as I have a new date plate to stamp! regards Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hi Nick, so you have one of the raritys. TRy the Maple Leaf Up forum and the Ddoge forum for specific info, though many of us may be able to help, can you post a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick T236 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi, I am still struggling with info, will take pics soon[ rolling restoration though!] Has any one else got a 'wide' bodied Canadian T236 dodge out there? Earliest I can find is A 1,000-1,500 plus later than mine and all 1945? Found some info stating that about 2,300 were made, and then re-called to have the bodies narrowed because of air freight problems in C47's, but mine escaped this. regards Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon_M Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Well my/Berts Dodge site, or Maple Leaf Up are your best bet for info. I don't know anyone who will admit to knowing a lot about them, a few still survive in Canada and the Norwegians sold off a few from reserve stock too. Although you can get a copy of the build card for any US Dodge of this period from Chrysler Historical I've heard that all the Canadian production records went in the bonfire, but with a build quantity as small as that you should be able to narrow it down One for the Maple Leaf Up Forum, softskin section, definitely.
