Dodge truck military use question

[ccf460]

I have a chance to buy a 1966 dodge d200 crewcab stepside. Were these trucks ever used by the U.S. military? I figured you dodge guys would know..... I think it is a really cool looking truck, and wondered about making a clone military truck to run with my deuce. Any help appreciated.

They where not really used in combat situations but alot where used in support operations.

There are a couple of great threads about the crewcab Power Wagons. I'll see if I can find them.

Awesome ,thanks. I tried doing some googlefu for pics, but it kept pulling up M37's and 880's. I thought it hard to believe they skipped that one generation of dodge truck.

Well when you looked it up and it gave you M37 - that is the historic line of the vehicle. Take Jeeps - M38 - to M38A - to civy CJ5. Hope you see why you got what you got on a search. Something always comes from something else.

Yeah, kinda figured. I was just hoping that by putting "D200 crewcab" in my search, that it would have pushed some of the others out.
