Poll #2

39-47 one tons were WD's and the X meant special equipment. So what's wrong with calling it a WDX? Sure sets them apart from the Power Giants, the Sweptlines, the M37s, the Lifestyle trucks... and yes, the Jeeps, too.

Actually Chewie, (not to split hairs) but 1939 1 tons were either TD-20 or TD-21 depending on which wheelbase the truck was on, and 1940 1 tons were either VD-20 or VD-21 also depending on which wheelbase. Dodge used the WD designation for 1 tons 1941-1947.

There are so many "poles" around here, I can understand how the German forces felt in September 1939 when they invaded Poland.

Very nice! Do you suppose that is the O.E.M. hood support or a repro?

It's an OEM Flat Board support...

Really surprised that the majority is in error in this poll, where is Paul Cook when we need him?.. = )

Ffpw

Gordon's other poll does have an appropriate answer, you can't buy this kind of entertainment.
I feel comfortable using the FFPW shorthand label to describe any WDX-WM300 truck so it is not confused with a W series truck

There is no way to confuse a W with a WDX, the DX is the tip off... = )

Only when Dodge confused themselves with the W300M did they fall off the wagon... = )

OEM or retro...

sorry Norm, I believer you are mistaken.... (heresy...) :> )

Cheyenne Dave's question was reasonable... but a fresh piece of finished lumber... not having a mil-spec olive drab finish is obviously of a
FIELD EXPEDIENT nature, developed by an improvisor in the Motor Pool.


Being the third owner of a 1943 WILLYS, ( UNCLE SAM, my dad, and myself), my dad had his '43 crated and shipped home from Casablanca in 1945.

i have never, in all of my searches of the nooks and crannies of the original FF, found that finished piece of lumber...or in surplus catalogs :> )

P.S. I wish my '43FF looked as good as the one pictured.

maybe , this summer's project.
