1940 Dodge Pickup 1/2 ton

Dodge began producing light trucks immediately upon its formation in 1914. For the first few years these were based largely on the existing passenger cars, later specific chassis and body designs were used. Light- and medium-duty models were offered first, then a heavy-duty range was added during the 1930s and 1940s. Dodge produced its first prototypes of dedicated military trucks in late 1939: the 1/2 ton 4x4 VC series. Production of the VC series started in 1940.
The wheelbase measures 116-inches and is 184.3-icnhes long. Power is from an L-head six-cylinder engine delivering nearly 80 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual gearbox and hydraulic drum brakes located at all four corners.
