Dear men !

I should like to see any scale plans of WW2 Dodge two-axle trucks - like WF-32, T-110, D-15 (see the image):



Any data about their chassis frames are welcomed - dimensions, close-up views, line drawings.

Also it will be great to see more information about their cabins - dimensions, cross-sections, internal equipment, so on.

Hope, such materials are exists...

Regards,
Ed.

I've not seen any visible to google, except detailing photos when looking for Chevvy '41 stake truck.
(What is it with stake trucks in the US, I don' geddit )

There are various erm... "Blueprints" sites findable on google, but to be frank, the quality of the (few) pics I looked at were awful.

I picked up a 1/32-ish Chevrolet, similar to this:

I'm still looking, so hang on in there.

Hi Ed

You'll find a few drawings here :

I know it's not a WW2 model, but you'll find a lot of walkaround pics of a 1947 Dodge WF-32 here :

Some T-110 pics here : http://maquettegarden.free.fr/Vehicules/Dodge%20T110/index.xml and here :

On a side note, there's a huge photo gallery on Flickr that is dedicated to 1939-1947 Dodge trucks :

...and another one for military Dodge trucks :

Thank You, friends, for Your recomendations.

It is sadly: so widely used trucks - and almost full absence of graphic materials...

Regards,
Ed.
