Dodge T-110 L-5, 3-ton, 4x2, General Service The Dodge T-110 L-5, built by the Chrysler Corp. of Canada just across the Detroit river from 1941 on, was a so-called »modified conventional pattern« [MCP] type, i.e. a commercial type adapted to military needs. These changes included larger tires (10.50-16.00, single rear) as well as other bodies and the omitting of the typical Dodge hood top embleme. 1700 3-ton Dodges were delivered to Russia, almost exclusively through the Persian Corridor where they arrived in »completely knocked-down« (CKD) form to save precious naval transport space. The actual assembly took place either at special Persian truck assembly plants or at the ZIS plant in Moscow. Special thanks to Mr. Ferdinand Hejl, Czech Republic, for providing precious informations.
