Dodge WF-32, 1½-ton, 4x2, with Stake-and-Platform body and Maxim M4 quadruple AA gun mount
The WF-32, built from 1941 on as indicated by the »W«, was one of two 1.5t Dodge truck types, delivered to Russia under Lend-Lease during 1942 and 1943, the other being the Dodge T-203B.
They both had the standard 160in. wheelbase, but differed in the form of the bumper, front fenders and rear mudguards.
Russia received around 9,500 of them in 1942 and 1943.
Note :
These two drawings are highly speculative as I haven't found any approval for the existence of the shown vehicle.
But, as the Maxim 4M quadruple AA gun was in combat use far into the year of 1942 and beyond and mounted on nearly any imaginable device (trains, horse wagons, GAZ AA and GAZ AAA trucks, even snow carriages), and the Dodge WF-32 was delivered in significant numbers, its appearance on the front is far from unprobable.
