This was the Canadian-built equivalent of the US half ton 4 x 4, but was rated at 8 cwt as British ratings were;

8 cwt,
15 cwt (three quarter ton)
60 cwt,(3 ton)


Hence you got the T212 code Dodge D8A (DODGE, 8cwt, 4 x 4) 'a' was 4 x 4 identifier

the T222 code D15 (DODGE, 15 cwt, 4 x 2)

and the T110 code D60 (DODGE, 60cwt, 4 x2)

Note that they were all specially built for army service, with British pattern wheels, hubs, and right hand drive,

Three or four survive as complete units, one in UK, two in Europe and one in Australia, probably a few more in bits
