As Jonas said, looks like a carryall or ambulance
in the 3/4 ton series military trucks. Someone
swapped a civilian or possibly a military 1/2 ton
closed cab onto it. The bed, judging, by the rear
fenders, looks like a commercial pickup bed from the
fifties dodges. Definitely NOT a 1/2 ton series. I
suspect that when Dodge began building the WDX Power
Wagons in '46, they used the front fenders, the hood
sides, and the lower part of the grill. Bet they will
interchange with the military 3/4 ton parts. They redesigned
the hood top halves, and the radiator shell top to
accomodate the 40s style cab, which was, of course,
midified insofar as the firewall and floor is concerned
to fit the Power Wagon frame. That's my two cents
worth, for what it's worth.
