How many of these big Dodge's made it out here after the war, Seems to be a few around
A lot of you would know of this one. These were built for the Chinese RHD with the big 331 side valve 6. 15,000 trucks built from October 1944 to March 1946

I saw a whole heap of Ex Snowy scheme Dodges in a yard in Bright about 20 years ago

I was in Bright for the weekend visiting friends. If I had known where to look I could have seen if they were still there. I am sure I will be back there before the end of the year if you have the location

Having lived through a pandemic I now understand all the painting of fat people on couches!
