1940s Dodge Truck
Here is another circa 1940s Dodge Truck, spotted on the Greek island of Kefalonia.
I have been visiting this wonderful island for almost 15 years, and ever since the first trip, have always seen this exact same truck sitting in the exact same spot, all this time. The truck can be seen on the roadside on the main road from Argostoli to the southern Kateleios/Skala area, near the towns of Vlachata and Lourdata.
This truck looks to be a 2-or-3-ton tipper example; most of these old Dodge trucks found in Greece and mainland Europe were imported from Canada during WWII during the allied “Lend-Lease” arrangement. The majority of these vehicles were assembled as RHD (right-hand-drive) units; however this example has the remains of its leftover pedals on the left side of the cab, with holes for the gauges on the right. No VIN plaques or other pieces of manufacturer identification are/were visible on this truck – most of the parts were long-since stripped. Part of the original front clip + grille was lying directly behind the truck on the edge of a small ravine.
The spot where this truck was had several other pieces of old rusty agricultural equipment and machinery lying about, including flywheels and pieces of old stationary engines.
