I was wondering if anybody here had any information on the Dodge T212? I'm considering dressing my WC similarly.

It isn't a 'dressing' sort of thing.
Of course the other Gordon will say you need to read the article about Canadian Dodges in the latest Power Wagon Advertiser 8~) but ....
It's really a totally different truck from anything made in the US;
Canadian body and toolbox / spare wheel carrier
Canadian long block engine.
British pattern wheels / tyres / hubs to suit.
Right hand drive.
Used extensively by Commonwealth forces during WW2, especially in Egypt, north Africa, and the middle east plus the run up Italy. Survivors went home with whichever army they ended up with, so one in Scotland, one in Europe, one in Australia. Similar sort of pattern of use to the T222 D15 trucks.
If you want a US equivalent you need to think more of very early WC half ton trucks in use in north Africa around the time of the Kasserine Pass -
Thanks for the info Gordon!Comment
