Gosh, I think their slogan was "Dodge builds tough
trucks"

Dad had a '50 Dodge 1 ton with the 9' pickup box. Tough old truck, slow and no syncros in the floor shift 4 speed. Of course there were no syncros in the '47 Chevy 4100 either....James

Commonly referred to as "3/4 ton" pickup. Was there any indication as to what year? I just searched Dodge trucks and it looks to be anywhere from 1947 all the way back to 1941, there seems to be little difference in appearance. Yes, they were hard working trucks and they lasted too. Thanks for the photo.

That may be rated at one ton, that's a pretty heavy rear hub sticking through the rear wheel.

Really neat pickup!

We had an old Dodge grain truck that ran great.

Sorry, not a Power Wagon. Power wagons were 4wd and came out in 41? for the military. There was a civilian version of the power wagon but it didn't look anything like this one.

Had neighbors back in the '60's that moved up from the deep south that had one in mint shape, older, and was a Plymouth. Its headlights were tear drops, so that's how I figure it was older. The Nolans. Used to make moonshine, store it in their basement.

As I recall, on the Canadian side of the border, Ford trucks displayed the Mercury logo. Isn't that how it went with Oliver/White? North of the border they were red and displayed the Cockshutt logo? Or have I got it wrong?

A buddy and I bought a '37 Dodge for $15 from his uncle. It resembled that truck, even the same color scheme. It ran real good, but there was no bed on it. Flathead six and a three speed floor shift. No title, so we taped a rent receipt in the front window to make it look like we had applied for license plates. We drove it around for about a month, and got nervous because the local cop was asking why we hadn't gotten the plates in the mail. I remember that the windshield was hinged on the top, and there was a crank that would open it up at the bottom to let the air flow through. Ah, the good old days!!!

In Canada there were both Ford and Mercury trucks as well as Dodge and Fargo trucks. I think you're right about Cockshutt.
