Dodge Tipper Help Please

[Jason Hyde]

Hello,

I live down in Australia and have just bought a Dodge to restore. I have the following information and hoping that someone may be able to help me. I will post pics as the restoration takes place but she is an original beauty.

Dodge Tip Truck 1950 (Approx)

Serial Number 9900 2304

Model DE4-52

Engine Number T149G7421C

Rated at 97 HP/3600 RPM

GVM 14500 lbs

Plate above Model plate reads DT8DC-0668

Anybody out there able to confirm year of build, where/how it was imported? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Jason,

I think if you double check your serial number you will find that it starts out with 93 and not 99. If so you have a very late 1949 model 2 ton truck that was built in Canada.

Tipper = Dump Truck???

Kevin,

Thanks for that. On closer inspection the serial number is 93002304.

And it is a dump truck (we call them tip trucks in Oz).

Cheers
