Does anyone know much about this model Dodge ?
It is a chev cab however dash is completely different to chev.
Tag on firewall says Dodge.
I took this picture but as its in a friends collection I wont disclose where it is.

Yer i reckon bitza as well. Dodge firewall grafted onto the chev cab to give it the dodge tags??? Look how long the cowl is... cab looks about a foot longer than a normal dodge or chev cab. Could be a Bedford cab to hey??

Probably a Chev cab, on a Bedford cab the front wheels protrude into the footwell as the front axle is further back. The doors have the front bottom corners cut out to suit.

There's certainly been some extensive panel construction gone on in the bulkhead/firewall area to match the cab to the Dodge bonnet and guards.
Front axle definitely looks like International, the rear axle with square axle housing, looks like a very late Dodge.
